I have spoken at writers’ conferences, women’s conferences, women’s pilgrimages, symposiums, served on literary panels at Writers at Work and at the Associated Writing Programs conferences, among others. Currently, I’m working on a book of essays about my search for the Divine after taking a twenty-year hiatus from the church of my birth, and I welcome opportunities to speak on this subject. For speaking engagements in general, I’m interested in the topics of faith and religion, difficult personal relationships and how to engage them differently, as well as the subject of the craft of writing both fiction and creative nonfiction.
