Speaking & Teaching

Tom Swift speaks to groups and classes on all aspects of nonfiction writing, including history, essays, research, biography, and journalism. He has presented to writers groups, historical societies, American Indian organizations, community education classrooms, library conferences, and 
book clubs.

As a writing consultant to undergraduate and graduate writers, he’s especially interested to meet people who want to make writing part of their lives, even if not their vocation. He teaches classes and gives lectures on everything from how to get started to how to construct a compelling story. Genres include memoir, essays, history, and biography.

He’s often asked to talk on air, online, and in-person about his award-winning biography of Charles Albert “Chief” Bender, a human-interest story about the greatest American Indian baseball player of all time.
