Author Visits
In Person and via Zoom
I love the opportunity to speak to groups and have keynoted or been a featured speaker at a long list of gatherings, including book festivals, college classes, libraries, bookstores, and teacher education workshops. I enjoy all types of audiences from third graders, to graduate students, to folks in senior living centers.
I traveled to Rwanda to talk with educators about Surviving Hitler, which is part of their genocide education studies, and I’ve presented to the Bhawanipur Education Society College in Kolkata, India; and to the Grange School for Boys with Emotional & Behavioral Disorders in Rutland, England. I’ve been featured at Politics & Prose in Washington, DC, Queens College in New York City, at the Harry S Truman Presidential Library, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

I have been a guest a dozen times on National Public Radio and numerous other radio programs and have appeared on CBS This Morning, NBC, and a long list of other television programs. I have also been featured in the Washington Post, The Horn Book, School Library Journal, the Boston Globe, the Kansas City Star, and others.
While I love classroom visits and having one on one time with students, I’m very comfortable using Zoom. My presentations typically last 45 minutes to an hour, but I’m flexible. I’ll work with you ahead of time to make sure my presentation is exactly what you want. Please contact me through this website and we’ll discuss details.
