Mahtab Narsimhan

“~Mahtab’s visit was a wonderful experience for our students. They were immediately able to connect with her because her book was set in local areas they know and recognize. She made the presentation especially engaging by sharing personal stories and insights into how her books came to life and answer many questions they had. We are looking forward to welcoming her back and reading what she creates next.~ (Book referenced : NOT MYSELF TODAY)”

“Mahtab,is a delight to work with. Professional but fun she brings her years as a storyteller to the classroom in a way that lights up the room and engages classes in enthusiastic conversations and compelling questions. I witnessed how she had six classes totally enthralled by her books, her history and her passion for writing. I would have her back in a heartbeat.”

“I have the best job: I teach teens. I’m serious! They are seeking community, they crave authentic connection and want to know about our world. I’m always looking for thoughtful and creative ways to enable this alongside the ideas I am teaching and that’s the tough part. Mahtab Narsimhan brought all this alive in a beautiful way when she came to visit our school for a 75min interactive session with 50 students from grades 7-10 at my school. With grace, humility and humour, she invited our students into the world of writing, stories and social media through the Ghost Queen, Mahtab’s latest book. She worked with us to design the session so that it integrated seamlessly into our curricular objectives. You know it went well when students were trying to read the book before the session even ended and they thank you for bringing someone, in their words, “famous” to the class! I highly recommend that you reach out to Mahtab for your school to help enliven literature, ideas and your students’ creativity.”
