Writers in the Schools
I love reading out loud, and find taking part in the Writer's Federation of Nova Scotia, Writers in the Schools
Program (WITS) is a wonderful and rewarding experience.  My specialty is historical fiction for younger readers.
My presentation includes a reading, storytelling, a slideshow of my research and tips for students doing their own research. There are lots of opportunities for questions. Of course I love pirates too. My piratical presentation for younger grades includes an animated reading, pirate rhymes, some riddles and maybe a mermaid story. Bookings for WITS visits usually takes place in September. 

For the 21/22 school year WITS visits can be in person or on-line.  Please check the WFNS website for more information.  (http://writers.ns.ca/)
ps. I prefer in-person.
