What type of event is this? *

** If you request "In-person, but Zoom substitution ok", we will work with you to schedule an in-person talk, but if, as the event date approaches, the pandemic conditions don't allow for that, we will convert it to a Zoom talk.

Let us know what virtual software/service you'll be using for the event, plus a technical contact and phone number.

Sr. Helen's preference is to do virtual events by Zoom, but if you have a specific service you use we will need to make sure it can be accommodated.

City and State where event will take place *

We like to know this even for virtual events, so Sr. Helen's talk can reflect local context.

Event date (starting date for multi-day events) *

Is this date flexible? *

Rough estimate of expected audience numbers *

Honorarium *

We suggest a minimum honorarium of $500 for Zoom talks. For in-person talks Sr. Helen usually receives between $2500-$10,000, plus fares and accommodation. Fees are always negotiable - please talk with Sr. Margaret Maggio to determine what works for your group. The honorarium supports our work to end the death penalty and push for criminal justice reform.

Will you be selling Sr. Helen's books at this event? *

We recommend Dead Man Walking for most schools and colleges; River of Fire for faith-based groups.

Sr. Helen is happy to focus her talk on one (or more) of her books, or on broader themes. Please let us know what will work for your group. *

Dead Man Walking
River of Fire
The Death of Innocents
Specific theme (provide details below)

Please provide additional information about the talk's focus to assist Sr. Helen in tailoring the talk to your needs. *

For example, for schools, let us know what type of class/course of study. More generally, you might want Sr. Helen to focus on a particular area, such as racial injustice, or spiritual activism.
