Speaking & Presentations
I have presented to many groups on many different subjects. From in-person conferences for organizations like the EFA and ACES: The Society for Editing to virtual workshops for the Rhode Island Romance Writers and others, I can be engaged to speak on many different editing topics. See below for a list of my presentations and topics.
