I’ve always believed that stories don’t really end when the book is closed, and sometimes they change shape when we start talking about them. I’d love to bring those conversations to your neck of the woods. Whether you’re looking to host a formal reading, a casual book signing, or a deep dive into the craft of writing, I’m open to finding a way to make it happen.

If you’re interested in a visit, here is how we can get the ball rolling:

◆ Book Signings & Readings: I’m happy to visit bookstores, libraries, or community centers to share a few chapters, answer questions, and sign some books.

◆ Workshops & Panels: If your group wants to talk about the "how" of writing—the grit, the routine, and the reality—I’m glad to sit on a panel or lead a session.

◆ Virtual Visits: If the map doesn’t quite line up for an in-person visit, I’m well-versed in the world of video calls for book clubs or classroom Q&As.

I try to keep the logistics as straightforward as possible. Every event is a little different, so just reach out, and we can figure out the details of timing and travel.

Drop me a line at johnbmarek@gmail.com with a bit of information about your event and what you have in mind. I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m back at the desk.
