Her articles and stories have been published in Christian Science Monitor, People, South Dakota Magazine and Winds of Change, among others. An instructor for the Career Learning Center in Rapid City and Black Hills State University, Hamilton’s residencies will focus on the impact of reading on writing and vice versa, using sensory descriptions to enliven short fiction, personal essays and poetry. Using the five physical senses and emotions improves writing. Reading skills,
vocabulary, observation skills and general communication create strong writing. Residency activities may include collecting family stories and developing family reading/writing time. Presentations are available for adults or children.
