"What Maureen did on our days was the first of its kind"

"She showed our senior elementary girls how refreshing it is to read stories where the contexts are relatable, and the characters look like them and carry some of the same emotions as they do. To be seen and heard in a diverse world is comforting.
Maureen’s hands-on techniques were engaging and facilitated meaningful interaction during the workshop. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the sessions.

Your expertise and genuine passion have made a lasting impact, and I will carry the lessons and inspiration with me as I continue to pursue my writing dreams."

"Maureen is an excellent moderator."

"Her advance research into her panellists' work and ability to weave together connecting themes and comments makes for a nimble and engaging style of moderating that moves beyond typical questions and answers. Events gain a richness that mirror the warmth of conversations between close friends."
