AUTHOR VISIT ASSISTANT
You need to get more writing time in the day, see the people (and pets) you love, and perhaps, have a life. You need a friendly, knowledgeable, professional to manage the day to day requests for events and event scheduling. I’ll field the invites in a timely fashion, schedule dates you approve, iron out every detail, answer every question, and provide you with an itinerary for your events.
Let’s also talk author care. I know that school visits can be one of the most exciting events for a school, creating memories to last a lifetime for those kids! However, you need a reasonable work day at a school. I know authors have superpowers. You are also only human, and I will help you set limits and define what you are comfortable doing for a school visit.
SCHOOL VISIT CONSULTANT
JUST STARTING OUT
Let’s talk schools! You are going to be speaking to an auditorium/ cafetorium/ gymnasium/ cafe-gym-natorium full of students, or you’re doing a virtual visit! We’ll discuss the ins and outs of school visits: working with the school contact, what to expect, how to price your visit, presentation style, how to handle q&a, disruptive behavior, what to do when things don’t go as planned, book sales, and all the nitty gritty to help you have successful school visits. Word of mouth is the #1 way authors get school visit bookings. I’ll answer any questions you have, address any concerns, and help you on your way to lots of bookings!
EVENT OUTREACH
Need help with planning events for an upcoming book release or book tour? On a state book award list? Have visit interest in part of the world, but need help maximizing your time and booking more events in that area?
NEED A CHANGE
You’ve been at this school visit thing for a while, but something feels off. Let’s discuss! I’ll help you break it down and consider every aspect. Let’s examine what’s working and what’s not and create a solid plan for future events.
WEBSITE, PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
Where’s the first place a school librarian looks for information about your events? Your website! Let’s update it and get it ship shape and ready for all those hits!
What information do you send to schools about your school visits? I’ll help you create info to send that gives the school librarian or educator information they need to take to their administration to get your visit approved.
