Dawn and the Potter’s vessels have shared at hundreds of events and retreats for women, churches, and educational institutions.
Her unforgettable message applies to women and men at every stage of life. She is happy to tailor the talk to fit your unique event and vision.
Isaiah 64:8 says,
“You, Lord, are our Father; we are the clay, and you are the potter;
We are all the work of your hand.”
But then, Romans 9:21 asks,
“Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?”
Do you know the purpose you were created for?
Is it special or common? How do we know?
You are a vessel created by a loving potter.
Are you seeking an author to visit your school, church, or homeschool group? Dawn enjoys interacting with adults and children. She loves sharing her books in person. As a teacher and principal, she knows exactly how to conduct a successful author visit. While working for a publisher that hosted book fairs, she had the opportunity to organize school visits by authors. Her favorite times were when she would travel with Bill Myers and Angela Hunt. She learned a great deal from watching them host memorable author events. She will deliver an inspirational talk during Chapel, read a story, lead a simple clay pottery craft, conduct a workshop on how to write a story, or offer a combination of these activities.
You can also schedule a call with me to discuss your event ideas. We will complete the Author Visit Event Packet together.
My books and stories are inspiring for children and adults. Therefore, I have done author visits to schools and other events for students from preschool through college. I adjust the talk to meet the needs of the audience. Parents enjoy hearing my message just as much as children. If you have a particular school event coming up, why not add an author visit?
When children meet the author or illustrator of a book, they gain a deeper love for reading. They become inspired to write and illustrate their own stories.
If your organization is Christian, I’ll share how my author’s journey is a testament to God working in my life. Each of my books has a spiritual meaning that illustrates essential aspects of the Christian walk. They also build on each other. Consequently, I have presented at a three-day camp retreat for high school students and been a guest speaker at women’s conferences. Of course, short events at schools, churches, and homeschooling events can also be scheduled. If your organization prefers a less spiritual approach to the event, I’ll adjust the talk accordingly. I have spoken at both public and private schools.
