I love writing best, but talking is good, too. I'm thrilled to say that I am now doing speaking engagements. Here's me looking really dorky/nervous at my first one.

This fall, I'll be doing a two-day visit to Elizabethtown College in PA. I'll be talking about writing, authenticity, "success" and what it was like growing up in the film industry.

I'm really excited about this new aspect of my writing - reading my work for a live audience is quite a rush. I'm grateful to have the opportunity meet readers in person so we can discuss those universal themes of purpose, happiness and the desire to write the script for your own life. (And yeah, I'll probably make you listen to a story about my dog.)

I'll be doing more talks in the future, so if your school/organization/group is interested in having me visit - please send requests to LisaJakub108@gmail.com.

As long as you'll forgive me if I wear my Chuck Taylor's and swear a little, I'm pretty sure we're all going to have a damn good time.

(Unless your group is a church or something - then I promise I'll wear grown up lady shoes and watch my mouth.)
