Author/Illustrator Event Booking
Book an author visit!
Congratulations! You are taking the first step in bringing the world of books alive for your group!
Here are a few things for you to consider:
- For long distance, I often travel with my younglings (two of them & a nanny), so if you are requesting us for multiple days or an event located more than 180 miles distant from St. Augustine, Florida, we will need accommodations. (Don’t worry, we don’t need the Ritz, but unless you have a member willing to host a party of 4, we’ll need a normal hotel room.)
- I am available as a package deal! I usually travel with at least one of my illustrators. (Let me know which illustrator you want and I’ll make sure the dates accommodate her as well. Check out the illustrator bios here: Christina, Rebeccah, Kimberly, Jaquline.)
- I’m available to work with any age or skill group. We love doing book readings and meet-and-greets where your students get to meet both the author (me) and at least one of my illustrators. (I try to match the age of my assisting illustrator with our audience!) Several of my illustrators are skilled at talking about their art. (Most students love this!) We also enjoy reading any book on the list (found here) or talking about our life journey (mine is the longest, yes) and can highlight whatever portion of the story you’d prefer (though I prefer to highlight encouragement, family, teamwork, and freedom).
- Please contact me if you have any special requests or for more information.
- If you’d like more than just a standard book reading or meet-and-greet, I enjoy creating a specific workshop or fitting in with one you are offering, please contact me via email for details.
- All participants will have a splendid time!
When contacting me, there are a few things I need to know:
- How far is your event location from St. Augustine, Florida?
- What is the median age of your group?
- Approximately how many people will be attending?
- How many presentations are required and what type?
- What date(s) are you requesting?
- Any special notes, information, etc.
Please contact me via email for booking requests. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
Thanks for reading!
