Interactive Author Visits

My “You Are The Hero of Your Own Story” Author Visit is 40-50 minutes long and ideal for 4th-7th graders in groups as small as 20 or as large as 200+. These interactive sessions include an author talk, two separate readings from THE UNFORGETTABLE LOGAN FOSTER, as well as in improvised superhero story based on a volunteer’s own suggestions and the audience’s participation with sound effects along the way. This format has been a hit with teachers and kids from New England to Southern California, and has proven especially engaging for neurodivergent students.

Currently available Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Southern NH and Northern CT. Willing to travel outside the area for larger engagements across multiple schools or regional events with stipend for travel.

Introduce yourself

I love speaking at schools and always bring a ton of energy, a bunch of giveaway swag, and an openness to adjusting my presentation and process to fit with the needs of the school or library. Filling out this form starts the process and is not a contract or a formal request. It just gets us in touch to see if scheduling a visit will be possible. Also, sending an inquiry will not put you on any marketing lists or newsletters.
