Kathy has presented at numerous Conventions and P.D. days within Alberta. Her sessions are very popular and she is consistently given great reviews by those in attendance. As a result, she has been asked back to many conventions and also visits schools individually for more detailed Professional Development sessions. During presentations, Kathy leads participants through her two creative writing workshops. Workshop fees include the use of Kathy s (copyrighted) story planning templates and tip sheet.
