Donna Gephart – Wild About Words!

My school visits include up to three presentations and/or writing workshops along with a book signing and lunch with a small group of students. Presentations accommodate any size group from small to several hundred students. Writing workshops are most effective for groups up to 20 students. My presentation covers many topics, including the following: finding ideas, research, revision and overcoming obstacles. It details how the public library helped transform my life from one of challenging circumstances to one of deep satisfaction. I enjoy presenting to students who come from financially disadvantaged backgrounds to share my story of financial challenges early in life and how books helped transform my life. I love sharing my passion for reading and writing with funny, relatable stories in an interactive, meaningful presentation.

I have a degree in education and have worked as the creative writing teacher at Oxbridge Academy High School in West Palm Beach, FL.
