Hello, educators and librarians! I frequently get asked if I do school visits so I created this page as a way of saying yes! I love getting the opportunity to speak with young readers. Below you’ll find more information about my visits and rates.

I’m available to do half-day and full-day presentations. On occasion, I can do a multi-day visit, but I do have small children so I always try to be mindful of how much time I’m spending away from home. My presentations usually include a power-point presentation that will give students some general information about my childhood and teen years, how I got into writing, the publishing process, and my books. I love getting the chance to talk about the power of stories, and encouraging all students to find and use their voices. I also do a Q&A, which gives the students a chance to ask more about the topics that interest them the most. I always try to make my presentations interactive. I also am happy to lead smaller groups of students in writing exercises and prompts.

For information about my rates, and to book a school visit (virtual or in-person), you can contact my booking agency, The Author Village, at hello@theauthorvillage.com. Also, you can click here to visit their website. Thanks so much, and I look forward to speaking with your students!
