Scheduling an Event
I'm available for Zoom events anywhere in the world or in-person events anywhere in Portugal. I occasionally travel to the US and would be happy to discuss opportunities there. Please let me know if you are involved with a museum, historical or genealogical society, writers' group, library, bookstore, school or university, conference, book club, or another group that may be interested. Contact me at SELindsey10@gmail.com to schedule an event.
In addition to the events below, I've done presentations for numerous other organizations and entities, including Eureka Public Library in Eureka, Illinois; the Friends of Liberia; the Liberian Studies Association International Conference in 2021; the Kentucky Historical Society; Joseph-Beth Books in Lexington, Kentucky; and Women Who Write in Louisville, Kentucky.
