Kate is passionate about helping students recognize their own potential to generate ideas, research, revise, and create stories they love. 

Her presentations draw on her background as an author and the stories behind her stories, showing students how they can bring the same process to their own ideas. 

She is booking school visits for grades K-6 for the 2022-2023 school year and is available for virtual visits anywhere and in-person visits in southern California (San Diego, Riverside, and Orange counties). She is available for one-hour or full-day presentations on “Writing What You Know–And What You Don’t .” Presentations focus on: idea generation, observation, research, and the writing/revision process, especially related to STEM writing. 

A Typical Visit

All presentations are interactive and tailored to the school’s and students’ needs. A typical full-day might include:

• Individual one-hour visits for each grade level from 1st to 6th
• 2-3 class readings for K (20-30 minutes each)
• Lunch with the author
