The Art (and Business) of School Visits: Sharing Best Practices
Once you’ve published a book, school visits provide a way to reach your core audience, getting kids excited about reading and writing. In this presentation, school visit columnist, blogger, and children’s book author Alexis O’Neill will focus on: making your presentation stand out meaningfully for kids and educators (and attract gigs), pricing and promoting your services, and addressing the paperwork on the business side of doing school visits.
