Throughout the year, she teaches a "Jumpstart Your Writing" online class through Gotham Writers' Workshop. No matter where in the world you live, you can work with Barbara. Visit Gotham's Web site for more information on the class and how to sign up.

Barbara coaches writers privately, consults with clients on writing book proposals, and critiques ongoing writing projects--fiction and nonfiction.

She also speaks to groups, moderates and sits on panels at author events, and visits book clubs/reading groups in person, on speakerphone, and via e-mail.
