Happily Ever After and Beyond Community event
This engaging, community-centered author event is designed for passionate romance readers and writers alike. In this cozy 90-minute gathering, we’ll explore our most beloved tropes, debate our favorite book boyfriends, break down the anatomy of a swoony meet-cute, and dive into a mini-workshop to spark your own happily-ever-after.
The Writing Process Grades 7-12
This program covers my writing process, covering the conception of the idea, the research resources required, how much to outline, the pitfalls of drafting, and the types of editing needed to have a polished finished product. This program can take an academic or creative focus. Academically, students learning to write essays/papers, to research, and to read books critically will get a lot out of this program. If a creative lens is preferred, students will explore their creativity, learn to create a compelling narrative, and delve deep into characters.
Lessons from the Holocaust School or Community Event
Ninety-Nine percent of Danish Jews survived the Holocaust despite Nazi occupation. Other nations lost 50-80% of their
Jewish populations. What was the historical context in Denmark? What can we learn from those Danes today about how to
protect people in our community?
Laura can speak with your school, library, book club, or community group about these topics and more. Get in touch to plan a conversation or program tailored to your audience.
All one-hour programs are free with a 20-book order ($14 each). Otherwise $150/hr.
