School/Book Club Visits: I am appearing at several schools in book clubs in 2026. Please contact me directly at cordeliaj@gmail.com if you would like to book a visit with you and your group. Topics include: writing novels in verse, story idea generation, writing about friendship, the journey to becoming an author. I am also happy to work with you to come up with a topic that works best for your group. I can work with fourth graders through adults!
