SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS & AUDIENCE-BASED WORKSHOPS
Marshall and Bird like nothing more than bringing some hardtack and sea lore to a group of young readers. Speaking engagements are based on audience, so a lecture at a conference or museum will be different than what the authors do at school events. Both Bird and Marshall have decades in college classrooms and present a lively and exciting way to get kids interested in reading, history, or both. Contact Bird and Marshall if you’re interested!
We can customize the speech to the audience, and we can also tailor the content or intent to whatever the organizer may have in mind.

VIDEO: SPEAKING AT THE HERRESHOFF MUSEUM
In this video we spoke at the Hereshoff Museum about our book Hold Fast and its historical relevance.
When we speak at a history museum, we generally concentrate on the current book and talk about some triumphs or difficulties in bringing that particular piece of history to light.
VIDEO: SPEAKING AT THE VERMONT BOOK SHOP
In this video, Bird Stasz Jones reads from and discusses her new novel, Hold Fast, co-authored with Marshall Highet, a coming-of-age story and sailing adventure on the high seas.
