Presentations

Sonia Garrett is an amazing storyteller … The presentations were enjoyed both by students and teachers.  After the session, it was hard to keep her novels on our library shelves.  Sonia provides a unique opportunity for children to experience oral storytelling.  We look forward to having her back in the future.

Meet the Author

Sonia Garrett loves to meet young readers.
Sonia will visit you online or in-person, depending on location. She will explain how lived experience, research, and folklore become page-turners. The talk will feature titles from her published work, with time for Q & A.
Be one of the first to hear about a new release.
Receive a FREE book for your school or library with every visit.

Writing Workshop

A hands-on writing workshop where grades 4-6 learn about story elements, structure, and the power of repetition. Then, they will apply this to their own stories.
Students will craft using sensory detail, pacing, and the ‘rule of three’ structure; plan with a simple story map; draft the opening hook of a story and receive constructive feedback.
Enthusiastic wordsmiths and reluctant writers will all join in the fun.
