Terry offers custom-designed writing workshops of varying lengths depending upon the needs of a group. She is particularly interested in working with middle school and high school students in English and Social Studies as well as fellow seniors. She is developing a new workshop entitled “Memorabilia as Muse” — how family heirlooms, letters, photos, personal government documents and even “junk” can spur memory and stimulate the creative process.  Kindly use the contact page to request a reading or workshop.
