Pam speaks about her best-selling, award-winning “extreme sports” adventure books, which are particularly popular with boys. They’re riveting; so is their author as a speaker. What else would you expect of a journalist, editor and award-winning speaker who has also been an outdoor guide? Even boys are impressed that she has kayaked the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Pam has spoken to more than 200,000 young readers across North America.
Her lively one-hour presentation for grades 4-9 includes:
- Short readings
- Tales of her own adventures
- Humorous anecdotes of how she researches her material
- The patience & persistence it takes to achieve success
- Special encouragement to boys
- The importance of rewriting & accepting criticism
- Tips on writing & getting published
