What the press is saying: “Homzie is very attentive and appreciative and encouraging…For almost two hours…Bliss.” The Los Angeles Times
What schools are saying: YOU ARE AWESOME! Stephanie, parent I wanted to tell you how very impressed I am with your handouts on how to write comedy. They are truly excellent—clear, age-appropriate, and obviously very useful and insightful. I’m saving a copy to use with future classes—with your permission, of course! Marian McKenzie, Librarian |

I love to present to schools, teacher workshops, bookstores, festivals, conferences and civic groups. All of my workshops and assemblies generate an excitement for the writing process and literature. They will leave students eager to write and with a sense of writing as a fun and an authentic activity.
Programs can be adapted to fit the needs of a school’s particular curriculum or a conference theme. A typical day would be three sessions, plus time for autographing. I’d be happy to suggest a presentation based on the size and age of your group.
