Speaking Engagement Information
Dave has developed a series of playful, yet motivational presentations
that explore the creative processes employed in writing and illustrating
children's books. This approach may be crafted into a keynote speech
or teacher workshop that will fit the time and content needs of your
organization.
Topics include:
How a Book is Born
Developing Skills for Creative Writing
Creative Problem Solving
Setting and Achieving Goals
A Positive Attitude called Creativity
All speeches and teacher workshops are tailored to fit the needs of
the audience and are guaranteed to be full of humorous anecdotes and
useful, common sense advice.
The fee for a Keynote Speech or a Teacher Workshop is $1500 plus travel
expenses. A discount is available for multiple bookings [for School

Please feel free to e-mail questions
or call me direct. My office/studio is an old bookmobile parked behind
one of the buildings at Helping Hands School (where I serve as Chief
Fiscal Officer and Director of Plumbing Problems). You may call the
school line at 518-664-5066 between 8:30 am - 3:30 pm and one of my
overworked secretaries will try and track me down. Another option is
my studio line 518-664-6530. I'm in and out all day but the best time
is 7:30 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. (if you miss me please leave a message on my
answering machine with your name, phone # and best time to call, I promise
to get back to you).
