As a librarian, I strongly recommend Carrillo's book (and his visit!).  Paco Jones is an ambassador for teens making sense of their place in a new school and with new friends."

“ Dominic was very easy to collaborate with. In the planning phases, he was expedient and thorough in his communications with us. And during the virtual visit, he was engaging, offering our students a wealth of knowledge in an easy to follow format that was perfect for second language learners!"

"Dominic Carrillo conducted fantastic presentations about reading with all Gr 9&10 students! Highly recommend him; international school teacher, author, and a fine human being!"

-Darlene Navis, Librarian

​

Having a background in teaching, Dominic understands and interacts with his audience according to their age and grade level. We highly recommend Dominic as a visiting author and presenter of the writing process..."

-Pam York and Polina Spencer, librarians

​

What type of presentations do you give?

I have a few presentations on the writing process where I emphasize the importance of effort, feedback, struggle and improvement. Another one is about my journey as a writer-- mainly a motivational story about a student (me) who used to be a below average reader and writer. 

I've also presented to educators on the topic of publishing student writing and the motivation and professionalism it fosters in students engaged in an authentic project.

I can do writing workshops with smaller groups (20 or less) which focus on creating a positive culture of critique and helpful feedback. And I'm happy to work with teachers and catering my talks to fit their current lessons or projects.
