Events
I am open to working with groups of any age. If you are interested in having me give a presentation, teach a workshop, or talk to your class, library, or conference, please email me and I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible. I’ve presented to elementary students, middle school students, high school classes, university classes, writing conferences, senior groups, women’s clubs, whole school events, churches, book festivals, writing conferences, foundations, businesses, and more.
“When Katrina Kittle delivered the Mountcastle Lecture, she began with ‘I love quotes’ and then used one of her favorites, ‘Leap… and the net will appear,’ as a springboard to describe her experience of the writing life. What followed was an authentically provocative talk, one that truly held the audience’s attention because she consistently conveyed that she was speaking not at nor even to the group but actually with them. One boy, just after the lecture, rushed up to say how much he appreciated a guest who did not ‘talk down to us and still challenged us with ideas we could understand. We were inspired.’”
