Briefly describe the program, volunteer work, or partnerships you or your organization may offer.
I am happy to talk with classrooms about the business of writing. My experience has been with the traditional, NY publishing route. I don't have experience in self-publishing, blogging, or the vast array of new social media promotion. But I can talk about the process of creating a product that is publishable, and the personal and professional skills that are needed to achieve that goal.
I am also happy to meet with a limited number of students for one-on-one coffee sessions (an hour or so).
