Author Visits
During the 2020-21 school year, I will be visiting schools virtually. Keep reading if you'd like to schedule a virtual visit.
Virtual Author Visits
Free Visits
Free 15-minute online visits are for classrooms in which every student has read one or more of my books and prepared questions in advance. The school library should have a copy or copies available in their school library for checkout following the event.
These sessions are available via Skype, Zoom, or Google Hangouts. Contact me to ask about date availability. Times will be scheduled between 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the US Eastern Time Zone.
Cost – FREE
Longer Visits
I offer 45-minute online sessions for a more in-depth experience. I try to get kids involved as much as I can and leave them inspired about science and writing. The school library should have a copy or copies of one or more of my books available in their school library for checkout following the event.
Each session includes the following:
5 minutes of tech set-up
3 segments of 10 minutes each. You choose from:
• What it's like to be a writer
• How I wrote this particular book (you choose the book)
• A reading from one of my books (you choose the book)
• Tips and tricks for writing science or nonfiction
• Question and answer session
5 minutes of wrap-ups/goodbyes
These sessions are available via Skype, Zoom, or Google Hangouts. Contact me to ask about date availability. Times will be scheduled between 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the US Eastern Time Zone.
Cost – $100
