Ms. Doyen loves speaking and working with kids; her mother was a kindergarten teacher for 40 years, and daughter Denise spent many-an-hour helping set-up classrooms and listening to lesson plans. Ms. Doyen offers interactive 50-minute auditorium presentations for school assemblies, full-day writing and wordplay workshops that can be geared to any grade level and entertaining half-hour classroom storytimes.
Ms. Doyen has done presentations for booksellers, museums, librarians and English teachers. She's served as faculty at SCBWI National and Regional Conferences, and The Big Sur Writing Workshop. She's happy to prepare a speech or workshop to fit your occasion. Contact her to discuss.
Ms. Doyen is experienced at and enjoys the give-and-take of moderating or speaking on panels about writing or kid lit.
