Presentation would be targeted at those interested in Literary Fiction, historical fiction ("Intervals of Hope" is set in London, England between the world wars) and fiction in exotic settings ("Poor Man's Galapagos" is set on a small island off the coast of Ecuador, South America where I lived for a year, and "Abundance of the Infinite" is also set in Ecuador). The presentation would involve readings and discussion of the writing, editing and publishing process for the novels. I have done such presentations before many times. I have sat on panels with other authors as well at the International Festival of Authors (author panel for the Humber School for Writers at the invitation of the former Artistic Director Antanas Seleika), for the Canadian Authors Association Toronto Branch, and the Windsor International Writer's Conference with Marty Gervais in attendance, so that would also be a possibility if other authors were interested.
Workshop would target those interested in writing fictional novels or short fiction. I did a workshop for Algonquin College in Pembroke, Ontario, many years ago which was titled "Writers Write" and was a multiple week workshop. The workshops involved presentations, readings of works-in-progress, and discussion of the writing, editing, publishing and submitting process.
