Program Info

Program Descriptions: My sessions vary based on the goals/interests of the school, but in general I put a strong emphasis on my lifetime dedciation to reading and writing. During the course of a session, I discuss my love of words, review development and execution of creative ideas, and share my work--ranging from silly songs and poetry to picture books, trivia sets and more. I try to generate laughter, of course, but more importantly, I try to generate a feeling of "hey, I can do that!" among the students. When possible, I try to write a poem (or song parody) with each group.
Program Pricing: $1,750 per day (up to four sessions), plus reasonable travel expenses. Negotiable within Fairfield County, CT.
Audience Levels: Lower Elementary; Upper Elementary
