A useful relationship begins with a specific need. Start with the work you can use now, or explore a clearly defined conversation or engagement.

02 / Bring people together

For libraries, educators & hosts

A conversation worth convening.

Explore a proposed 60-minute Antigone discussion or an educator workshop on defending an AI-assisted answer. Martin and the host agree the audience, format, date, materials, and fee before booking.

In preparation / Renaissance Circle Kit

One table.
Four meetings.
Questions that travel.

A standalone host kit is being prepared for one host and a small group of adults. Its four 75-minute meetings use supplied readings, timed agendas, participant worksheets, and follow-up prompts. No unreleased book is required.

Inside the developing kit

  • Four complete meeting agendas and original readings.
  • A daily practice card and a difficult-decision record.
  • Dialogue and AI-review worksheets.
  • A Rule of Life and a final review.
  • Invitation, reminder, and follow-up drafts.

The complete draft is undergoing author review and host rehearsal. Availability, final price, permitted use, and support terms will be confirmed before any paid pilot. Expressing interest creates no purchase or commitment.

Before you inquire

Clarity makes good work possible.

Can I use something now without buying?

Yes. Read the essay collection and use the Practice Room. The worksheets are free, and your answers are not sent to Martin.

What happens after an inquiry?

Send your audience, intended result, timing, and relevant source material or host context. Martin reviews the fit and confirms scope, availability, deliverables, and terms directly. A submitted inquiry is not a booking.

Are the books ready to purchase?

The five connected manuscripts remain in preparation. Available selections can be read now. Join the reader-interest list for publication news; no preorder or release date is promised here.

Does joining a group imply political support?

No. Reading, educational, and commercial inquiries are distinct from campaign activity. This author website does not accept campaign contributions.
