School and Library Visits:

Presentations

The writing process – I discuss my writing process and how I go from starting a book to finishing it, as well as giving tips for edits, revising, etc. I show examples, talk about some of the ways I have adapted my writing to work for me as a neurodivergent writer, and do a Q&A about my writing.

Me as a writer – I talk about my own writing career, showing examples from when I was a kid and sharing stories about my journey to publication. This includes a brief read aloud as well as a Q&A session.

My books – I talk about my books, why I wrote them, some of the changes they went through when writing, and I discuss the importance of the representation within them. This includes a brief read aloud as well as a Q&A session.

STEM and fiction - I talk about why I write books about STEM kids, my love of robotics/engineering, and how the skills seen in my books and in STEM can help kids in pretty much any area of life. This includes a brief read aloud as well as a Q&A session.

*Please note that I can also merge any of these topics together as desired.*

Costs and Scheduling:

Honorarium per day -
- $250 per presentation, up to 4 presentations in a day + travel costs for non-local events.
- For pre-recorded visits - $50 per recorded visit (this fee covers the initial recording as well as the follow up to answer further student questions).

For live visits: I’m willing to consider any number of days for a visit, but it will depend on timing. If I am already in an area for a book festival or event, then I'd be happy to visit local schools without the travel cost. During live visits I will also sign books, and will bring along stickers and bookmarks to hand out. My presentations are about an hour long, with time for questions at the end and book signing after. I can adjust the timing slightly to make them longer or shorter though to match the needs of your organization.

Pre-recorded visits: I offer pre-recorded visits, where students send in their questions early and I record myself answering them while also chatting about one of the topics listed above. After watching the video, teachers can then email me follow up questions from their students, and I'll send back a second recorded response.
