Education
& Training
Stories aren’t made in a vacuum. Inspire your conference, organization, or school with one of my curated offerings.
Subject Matter Expertise Presented with Flair
From culinary school to a diploma in journalism, marketer to author, my experience has spanned more than fifteen years. Let me share some of what I’ve learned with you.
Below are some of the courses, lectures, and workshops I have prepared. Have something else you’d like to discuss? Send me a message.
Fantastical Food
You might not know where Minas Tirith is in relation to Osgiliath, but you undoubtedly remember what Lembas bread is. In this hands-on workshop attendees will learn how to use food and drink to build a world readers will want to savour.
Obsidian for Writers
Obsidian is an opensource and completely free tool that can dramatically simplify how you organize, plot, and draft your next novel. Learn all about it in this hands-on demo.
Building An Author Brand
Your book is a product, and that makes you a brand… whether you’re ready for it or not. In this lecture/workshop, attendees will get a crash course in how to separate the individual from the author and create a platform that both helps them sell their work and insulate their creativity from the masses.
In-Conversation: Leaving it All Behind
Yes you can quit your day job. Yes you can leave your hometown behind. Yes you can write that book. In this candid conversation, I share my journey and discuss how they can leave the shit behind and find a life they love.
