So, I'm pimping myself. But I think it's about time. I'm not getting any younger. LOL! Truth be told, I live sitting on panels, talking to classrooms, teaching what I know in an informal way. Here goes... I've been at this writing thing most of my live in various ways, but serious as a novelist since 2002. Since then, I've published a lot of short fiction, a couple of novels, a short film or two, and recently edited a national bestselling anthology. What does that mean for someone looking to book an author? It means I can talk about writing, publishing, dialog, plotting, unconventional narrative, specific genres, #thewriterslife, editing, publicity and marketing. I've spoken to schools from the elementary level to college. I've attended hundreds of conventions all over the country, given talks at libraries, bookstores and large writer's groups. With my journalism background, I can speak in front of cameras, microphones, or answer questions given as an email. I can do it all because I have done it all. I'm ready to work for you. Attached is my one sheet. Let me know if you have any questions. Dave
