Visit formats
What a visit includes
My typical school visit lasts 45 - 60 minutes (I can adjust as needed!) and includes a reading, a slideshow about the writing process and the stories behind my stories, a Q&A, and a guessing game. I am also happy to do shorter Q&A only visits and to lead writing workshops (for smaller groups of one to two classes at a time).
Fees vary by format, travel, and your school's needs. Reach out directly for a quote and open dates.
