SCHOOL VISITS

Since 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!

My Presentations

My books are children's books and are aimed at younger kids (Kindergarten - 3rd/4th grade). However, the subject matter is all about English idioms and how confusing they can be, which is something that older kids (5th/6th grade) learn about. So my audience is quite large and I have different presentations that I do.

VIRTUAL PRESENTATIONS
In addition to in-person presentations, I also offer virtual presentations, which are essentially the same as my in-person presentations (described below). Virtual school visits can be configured through my Learn Desk page. Or, I can work with Zoom, Google Meets, Facetime or whatever platform you may be using.   

​LIVE / IN PERSON PRESENTATIONS

KINDERGARTEN - 5th 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 45 minutes.  

6th-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 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.

Pricing

Pricing for school visits is something I am constantly trying to figure out. While I definitely want to get paid for my time, I absolutely LOVE sharing my passions with kids and appreciate all opportunities to do so.
