“I recently attended an “Author Talk” presented by Ms. Fortenberry. She is a captivating and engaging speaker who maintains the audience’s interest. Her author talk was educational, motivational, humorous, and brimming with useful guidance. It’s a combination that works for everyone. I highly recommend her speaking events and workshops!”

“Vanessa Fortenberry’s author talk was very personable and enjoyable.  I appreciated every moment of her presentation. I learned so much – not only Vanessa’s work as an author, but also about her as a person.  Both are a joy!!! She also has a great sense of humor. We all enjoyed her visit.”

I enjoyed it when you showed us the books you wrote.  I like it because you wrote it yourself, and you wrote the script by hand. I also learned about reading, how you can write books, and the efforts that go into writing a book.

What I enjoyed about your visits is learning about different things about books.  I really enjoyed when we got in groups to create a book talk and the fun activities we did. I enjoyed the books you wrote and your reading stories to us.

Ms. Fortenberry, I enjoyed everything about your visits.  You taught us about written expression and literature.  I am so glad you came.

Ms. Fortenberry introduced me to a creative and innovative way to do book reports by implementing her book talk method.  The students really enjoyed reviewing their books using book talk.
