Teaching and public speaking are some of my favorite parts of being an author! There are few things I love more than sharing my passions and knowledge with others. I’ve had the honor of speaking to many groups so far, including local, state, and national organizations and conferences.
Would you like to have me at your conference, workshop, writers’ group, university, or school? Below are some of my most popular topics, although if you don’t see exactly what you want, I’m happy to work with you to customize a plan! I am also available for readings, panels, Q&As, and both individual and group critique sessions!
“Annie Neugebauer’s wisdom and advice may be hard won on the battlefields of professional storytelling, but she’s always an optimistic, buoyant spirit as a teacher and guide.”

Please note that at this time, as much as I love giving back and wish I could offer free visits, I can’t afford to do uncompensated speaking. Thank you for understanding!
