We are proud to offer author visits to elementary schools and libraries. Each visit is free - there are no presentation fees. The only requirement being the coverage of travel expenses and the purchase of a minimum of 20 orders. Our goal is to inspire young minds and foster a love for reading and writing. With our engaging and interactive sessions, students have the opportunity to connect with a real author and learn about the creative process behind Melanie's books.

During the author visit, Melanie will read one of her books to the students, followed by a Q&A session where students can ask questions about the book, the writing process, and the

author's inspiration. This interactive discussion allows students to delve deeper into the story and gain valuable insights into the world of literature.

One of the highlights of our author visits is the time dedicated to author signing. When they place an order, each student will have the opportunity to receive a personalized message from Melanie in their own book. This creates a lasting memory and a special connection between the student and the author.

Our author visits typically last approximately 100 minutes, allowing for a comprehensive and engaging experience. To accommodate larger groups, we offer the option of two sessions, with a maximum of 50 students per session plus additional time for signing books. This ensures that each student has the opportunity to actively participate and interact with the author.

So, how does it work?

We have a simple process in place to make the author visit a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

1. Teachers/Librarians are asked to send home a book ordering form and collect funds from students. A minimum of 20 orders must be placed in advance of the visit to secure the visit.

2. Schools are requested to confirm the number of books purchased at least one week before the visit. An invoice for the book purchase will be forwarded to the school, ensuring a smooth transaction. By coordinating the book purchase in advance, we can ensure that each student receives their own copy of one of Melanie's books, enhancing their connection to the story and the author.

 

Melanie believes that author visits are a valuable educational opportunity that can ignite a lifelong passion for reading and writing. If you are interested in hosting an author visit at your elementary school or library, please contact us for more information.
