One of the most rewarding experiences an author can have is to be invited to a school or library to read to a group of children.  Meet the Author day is one of the most important days of a students career. I love watching the sweet faces as they go from happy laughter, to shocked concern, to cheerful clapping at the end. I’ve found that most children flourish when meeting an author – they ask so many amazing questions and the majority of them love the idea of writing because their imaginations are already running wild.

I also know that author readings can be quite costly, especially for lower income schools.  My goal is to educate and inspire the children – so my school visit fee is nominal. Contact me for details and I will work within your budget.  I’d also request the opportunity to do book sales by supplying an order form to be sent home prior to my visit. I would be happy to donate a book to the library and would even give a discount to the school or library if they wanted to by many.  I want to work with the schools because educating the next generation is incredibly important to me.  Extending the educational aspects of the series past just the book helps to solidify a child’s learning, so I’ve created Reading Comprehension Quizzes, Language Arts, Math and even some Science.

There are also AR (Accelerated Reading) tests in the system for each Hamilton Troll storybook!
