Angela crafts custom workshops to help participants deepen characters, increase tension, and improve the pace of any manuscript. Individualized, interactive workshops are designed to give writers experience and tools to bring their manuscript to the next level and are suitable for any writer regardless if they have a novel that’s been revised twenty times or simply an outline and an idea.
Events for STUDENTSAngela is available to speak about writing and research as well as Irena Sendler, ZEGOTA, and the child rescues from the Warsaw ghetto to classrooms, home school groups, and clubs. Using Credible Sources to Create Incredible Fiction is a favorite interactive presentation perfect for both Language Arts and Social Studies classes and can be presented to a combined group of up to 60 students.
"In addition to engaging with students about Irena Sendler's child rescues and teaching about credible, truthful, and accurate sources, it is my goal that 100% of the students experience a wow moment -something they won't forget - from our time together."
