I love speaking with students, readers, librarians, educators, and other writers! I'm available to speak with groups of any size, from conference keynotes to homeschool consortiums. As a double English and Theater major, I bring energy, creativity, and interaction to group settings. I am in the process of revamping my presentations to include my newest title. Please use the button below to contact me for my current presentation menu.

"Ms. Colman's visit with our middle school readers was a smashing success! Her genuine enthusiasm for the craft of writing, combined with her delightful personality kept our students engaged and interested in her book and the process of writing it. Our students loved her read aloud of the first chapter of The Gilded Girl, and her presentation on the creation of her novels was fascinating. It also reinforces the strategies we give students about the revising and editing process of their own writing! We can't thank Ms. Colman enough for sharing her love of reading and writing with our students!"
Mr. Rob Porter - Literacy Coach, Sampson G. Smith Middle School
"Ms. Colman was the perfect guest speaker at a reading celebration at our middle school. She opened a window for our aspiring writers to envision their futures as she shared personal insights about the writing and publishing process and her own journey to becoming a published author. Ms. Colman now has a fan club at Franklin Middle School!"
Mrs. Barbara Trach -- Language Arts Teacher, Franklin Middle School @ Hamilton Street Campus
