Dear Teachers:
I have always loved Skyping into classrooms, and encouraging students to read and to write stories for themselves. For years I have offered this service FREE. However, times have changed—and authors also must pay bills.
Beginning in 2018,
My FEE for a “Skype Author Visit” will be
the PURCHASE of at least 2x of my BOOKS.
the PURCHASE of at least 2x of my BOOKS.
Approx $20.00 —including postage,
book discount, and autograph.

MY FUN and EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATION
STAYS THE SAME
As do the FREE BOOKS (pdf), plus WRITING HELPERS
and COLORING SHEETS I always send.
OVERVIEW:
I begin by introducing myself as an Aussie Transplant now living in Oregon. I tell a little about growing up Down Under, show cool Aboriginal artifacts, and read from one of my books. Then I go into how books are written, and where my inspiration comes from. I also stress the importance of powerful words, focus, plus strong plots and characters.
Visits to older grades receive a more in-depth chat about the writing process, and I use the FREE Writing Helpers I send as talking points. At the end, a fun Q and A allows for a sharing of ideas and writing know-how. This is often the highlight of my visit.

As the author of 16 Books for children,
I truly believe my small fee is “doable” for most schools.
