How to Write an Award-Winning Novel

“I hired Ying Chang Compestine to serve as the UC Davis School of Education’s children’s literature lecturer for our annual Words Take Wing event. She visited the UC Davis Children’s Hospital and was personable and patient with the ill children who gathered to meet her. The following day, she addressed 650 children and teachers (3rd – 6th grade) in a presentation that was both informative and entertaining, and included a live dumpling-making demonstration with children from the audience. In the evening on the same day, she presented a highly engaging lecture to a smaller group of educators and literature lovers. She was extremely well-prepared and a delight to work with. I highly recommend Ying for just about any public speaking, cooking demonstration or reading engagement.”
— Donna Justice, Director of Marketing and Communications, UC Davis School of Education |
