This is the practice school of writing. Like running, the more you do it, the better you get. ~Natalie Goldberg

Bake Me A Story~ Elementary School Bake Me a Story is an elementary level power point program about, well… baking a story. Using the analogy of making pancakes, Apelqvist involves her students in the process of putting a story together. While most children this age have a good grasp of character, setting, and plot, Bake Me a Story is designed to be a fun reminder of what they are already learning in the classroom.

Swede Dreams: One Writer's Journey ~ Middle School, High School, Adult A talk about writing what you know, and learning what you don’t know... so you can write about it. This program discusses what goes into the creation of a novel; the good, the bad, and the daily work.   Other Talks and Writer's Workshops ~ Any Age Contact Apelqvist about custom tailored programs. She is always looking for new ways to do things, and would be delighted to have the opportunity to create a program that fits your group.

Fees $150 for the first 45 - 60 minute presentation,$100 per presentation after that, or $400 for a full day of no more than four presentations. If applicable, add travel expenses of .42 mileage, and lodging.      Comments from teachers who have attended Apelqvist’s presentations:   “Excellent lesson preparation and so well organized. The power point presentation was great and I so enjoyed Apelqvist’s personal stories.”   “When the children heard that Apelqvist revised over thirty times on one piece, it really made an impression. I think we’ll get a lot of mileage out of that back in the classroom.”   “Very nice organization of materials! The students thoroughly enjoyed it.” "Apelqvist did a fabulous job presenting to our second graders. It is obvious that she not only loves writing but that she loves students as well.  They enjoyed her entire presentation from start to finish."
