About Mark
I'm an internationally published New York Times bestselling author of 32 books for kids. My books have been published in 31 countries, translated into 27 languages with over 2 million copies in print. I love visiting schools and talking about all the failures I had to endure before every finding any success as an author - a Growth Mindset talk.

Visit formats
What a visit includes
About 6-weeks before the visit, I send the school a book order form, if kids want to order a book from your local bookstore for me to sign. The school handles all the logistics around book orders. About a week before the visit, I send the school bookmarks to give out to all the kids, to get them excited about the visit. For the actual author visit, I typically do 3 talks, either individual grade levels, 3, 4, 5, or groups of grades, k-1, 2-3, 4-5, before lunch. I then have lunch with kids who are Minecraft fanatics and want to talk with me. After lunch, I autograph books if any were ordered.
