SCHOOL VISITS

What better way to share my love of books with young people than to visit and talk with them! Kids are curious, often wanting to know the hows and whys of things. Talking to an author allows kids to ask things like:

​

  • How did you come up with that idea?

  • How do you get a book published?

  • Why do you have to revise and edit so many times?

 

And for me, answering those questions is fun and offers me the chance to learn from them by asking questions such as:

 

  • What kinds of books do you like and why?

  • Do you enjoy writing your own stories?

  • What makes a story funny? 

​

I can customize the visit based on the grade level and specific interests. For example, I can give a general talk about writing and publishing and how books get made. I could also gear it more towards the craft of writing, especially if there is something particular they are learning that could be incorporated into the talk. Or a combination of both. 

​

I also supply book orders ahead of time so that I can bring signed copies with me to the visit.
