SCHOOL VISITSSince becoming a published Author, visiting schools and talking to kids has quickly become one of my favorite things to do! Interacting with kids and sharing my story with them and hopefully inspiring them to do what they love is an amazing feeling!
And YES, I would absolutely LOVE to come visit your school! Please feel free to e-mail me at: kartunist78@yahoo.com or fill out my online CONTACT FORM to inquire today! |
My Presentations
My books are children's books and are aimed at younger kids (Kindergarten - 2nd/3rd grade). However, the subject matter is all about English idioms and how confusing they can be, which is something that older kids (4th, 5th, 6th) learn about. So my audience is quite large and I have different presentations that I do.

LIVE / IN PERSON PRESENTATIONS
**UPDATED 9-1-2020**
In an effort to help keep everyone safe & healthy through the COVID-19 pandemic, my live/in person presentations are currently on hold. However, I hope to get back to doing this once things are safe again.
KINDERGARTEN - 4th GRADE
I introduce them to idioms, share a few easy examples with them and I talk a little bit about the writing process. Then I share 2 of my books with them and I talk about following their dreams, since this has been a dream of mine since I was a child. Then I end my visits by teaching them how to draw my main character, Beamer. This presentation typically takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
5th-8th GRADE
I share my story about how I became a published author. I also talk about the different ways of getting published and about marketing and selling, all while sprinkling English idioms throughout the story and quizzing them on their meanings. I also talk to them about following their dreams and I also end by teaching them how to draw my character, Beamer. This presentation typically takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
I also hand out a flyer, a coloring page and a Beamer sticker or bookmark to each of the kids during my visits.
I have done small single classroom visits, groups of 2 or more classrooms combined, full assemblies, etc. So I'm pretty flexible and will do whatever works best for you and your students.
