It's True! You can book Lisa for a virtual school visit, writing workshop, as a keynote speaker, or as a chocolate-tasting judge . . .
Lisa’s lively, informative and entertaining presentations cover the amazing, strange, and sometimes painful (ouch!) steps it takes to create a bestselling book, the secret to successful writing, and audience questions.
She can also delve into what it took to write her latest, and most personal, novel Maizy Chen's Last Chance, and talk about how growing up as a third generation Chinese American was reflected in this book. Lisa can also touch upon the history of the Chinese in America and the surprises her research uncovered when writing Maizy's story.
Whether it’s an elementary, middle or high school, Lisa can tailor her presentation to suit your needs. Plus, she’s a sought after conference speaker and writing workshop instructor. (Lisa has taught at UCLA, but attended USC.) For inquiries and more information CLICK HERE.
Here's what people are saying about Lisa Yee . . .
(Lisa) just floored me with an absolutely outstanding virtual visit to 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classrooms. Her passion and humor shone so clearly through everything she said--and electrified the students! She answered each of their questions with such respect to them as writers and with wonderful kindness and enthusiasm. One teacher commented, "One of my most struggling readers wants to read ALL her books now!"

Students and staff were totally engaged by Lisa Yee's upbeat program. We loved hearing about her childhood, her journey to becoming an author and the inspiration for her characters. Lisa patiently and thoughtfully answered student questions. I would highly recommend inviting Lisa Yee to your school or public library.

We regularly welcome authors into our school, but years of visits did nothing to prepare me for the amazing visit that we had with Lisa Yee. From the moment she took the microphone, Lisa Yee captured the attention of students and teachers alike. She knew how to talk to her audience, instantly connecting with all in the room. We laughed, learned, and left a little more confident in ourselves after hearing her stories of childhood and how she became an author. She was overwhelmingly my favorite author to visit and engage our school!
