As a former teacher, I am passionate about connecting with students in whatever way possible---in person, virtually, or through letters. My talks are geared for kindergarten through sixth grade. I offer both whole school presentations and small group writer's workshops.

A great visit checklist

Have students think of questions in advance – maybe write them down so they don’t forget!
Teacher and aides stay in the classroom.
One class at a time works best. If that is difficult then no more than 100 children at a time.
A library or a classroom is a perfect setting for an author visit.
Make my books available to students. A visit is more meaningful if the students have heard the work.
