Presentation
A Milken National Educator Award recipient, Margo Sorenson is happy to speak both to young readers and to community groups. She has presented to school children of all ages, to teachers through in-service workshops and graduate studies, and to numerous community and service groups, and is delighted to help with their fund-raising. She enjoys sharing the development of her books, including childhood influences on her writing process, the ways in which she generates story ideas, as well as the plots and characters which make her books appealing to readers, and the importance of revision – sharing her 21 pounds of rejection letters! She will tailor talks and workshops on writing specifically for each audience and welcomes pre-presentation input. Margo says it’s fun being “deep cover” for teachers who have objectives they want reinforced for their students! |

"These children could really relate to her time capsule history and knew the characters and wanted more. One little boy touched my heart as he told Margo that he read the Cesar Chavez book and it encouraged him because he was a Hispanic boy and this man did great things." —Gail Lester, Branch Manager, Cathedral City Library
