Public Speaking Details

I teach mystery writing craft, and enjoy giving workshops for children through adults. I enjoy helping people become sleuths of their own stories by troubleshooting problem areas that mystery writers frequently encounter, and I guide mystery writers through the process of planning new drafts and major revisions.
