My name is Dr. Michael Lockett
I am a long-time reading educator. I currently work as a storyteller and children’s author.
The purpose for which I am writing is to ask for a name and contact information where I can send information about my work. I would like to bring my name to the attention of the conference planners. If you can assist me in my quest – I will gladly send a complimentary storytelling CD or DVD along with the PR pack that the conference planner can use with young learners in the classroom.
I have posted a few facts below that show some of the work I have done that would make me worthy of presenting to the conference attendees.
Thank you for any response you can give to my request.
Sincerely,
Mike Lockett
