Are you a teacher, librarian, active parent or part of a large homeschool group? Want to inspire students in their writing and reading? Having an author visit is just the ticket! Author visits are great because kids realize authors are people just like themselves, while at the same time there’s a hint of *celebrity* that children enjoy. And if the kids are allowed to buy books–gulp–a book signed by the author!
Author visits are great for teachers and schools because they reinforce instruction. I always tell students how important it is for writers to also be readers. And what it means to revise, revise, revise!
I’m writing this post today to let everyone know that I still have openings in THIS SCHOOL YEAR to visit schools. Especially later April through June. My rates and what to expect from a visit are here.
If you’re looking for something different from what I offer, check out more authors at AIVS. (Authors & Illustrators Who Visit Schools.)
For ideas on how to fund author visits, read this (bottom part of the blog post).
Are you ready to inject excitement into your classroom by inviting an author to share about the writing process or discuss their book(s)?
