EventsAbout School Visits-- I enjoy visiting schools to talk about my books and writing. I've given talks to preschoolers through high school students, but middle school students are my favorite. It's important to me that my visit be educational, not just entertainment, and so I require teachers to prepare their students ahead of time, either by assigning my books to their students or by reading them in class. Every student must have read or heard at least one entire book; my visit will be more productive if the students have read or listened to two or three. I charge $750/day for local schools (50 miles or less from my home) and $1500/day plus all expenses including travel for schools farther away than that. I can do either 3 hour-long presentations or 4 45-minute ones, plus booksigning, depending on the school's needs. Please plan your school visit well in advance as I accept a limited number of engagements based on my family's schedule. |
