Speaking
arrangements for Grace E. Howell
I am regularly available for speaking
engagements and workshops. As a
former teacher and school librarian, I have experience working with adults and
with children. In one day, I can give up to two presentations, participate in a
panel discussion, and provide critiques for individuals for a fee. I request
that travel expenses, and lodging be paid and conference registration
waived. Appearance fees are negotiable.
The workshops listed below are now available
for adult groups or groups of children. Other topics can be requested.

Proper Pruning for Perfect Prose (Self-editing)

how to get them on paper)
