Book an Event
I have spoken at dozens of high schools and colleges throughout the U.S. and in Europe. At high schools, I typically do an all-school assembly for 60 to 90 minutes, with about half of that Q&A. I'm happy to sign books afterward, and frequently add on a smaller class or lunch group before the main event.

"Accomplishes an astonishing number of things in compelling, articulate prose . . .
Most remarkable is Cullen's ability to present an onslaught of facts while recreating such anguish and fear. Columbine is a valuable historic resource, but it roils the heart, too."
— Miami Herald
"If I made a list of books that all journalists should read,
Columbine by Dave Cullen would be near the top."
— Poynter Institute
​
"The fascinating book Columbine, which I have read two times and seriously recommend . . .
It is essential reading if you want to understand anything about active shooter situations."
— Anderson Cooper

"Excellent.
What's amazing is how much of Cullen's book still comes as a surprise."
— New York Times Book Review
