I love to speak and teach at libraries, schools, book clubs, homeschool co-ops, and conferences. I aim to inspire kids to chase their dreams and find excitement in reading and storytelling! My presentations can be given virtually or in person.

Main Presentation
From Passion to Profession
Ages 10+
30 minutes
How do you turn a passion into a career? Millie Florence shares her story, from self-publishing at age thirteen to writing full-time at age twenty – and the four principles and practices that got her there. Also, why she couldn’t have done it without elevators and musical theater.
This presentation is aimed to inspire kids to chase their dreams, writing or otherwise.
Younger Presentation
Story Magic
Ages 5-8
20 to 30 minutes
Students will learn the power of words and the pictures they paint in their minds. We’ll read an excerpt from my novella Honey Butter and play several games based on it with poetry and paint cards.
Kids Writing Workshop
Playing with Words
Ages 8-14
1 hour
A fun, hands-on experience, students will embark on a quest to defeat doubts, explore imagination, and discover the treasure of creativity. We’ll learn how to banish our inner editor, write stories as short as six words or as long as a page, create mind-bending metaphors, and more!
Teen Fiction Editing Workshop
Leveling Up
Ages 13+
1 hour
“How do I know if my writing is any good? How can I improve it if it’s not?” If you’re a teen writer with these questions, then this workshop is for you! Together we’ll talk through what separates good writing from bad writing, edit a scene live on screen, and learn principles to level up your storytelling skills.
Bookclub Appearances
I am happy to attend book clubs and answer Q&A questions for free if I can join virtually, or at the cost of my travel to meet with you in person!
