What do you do when you visit a school ?

I read to your students from the books I have written in the Alphabetland Series.  My presentation is tailored to meet the needs of your school and varies depending on the age group.  It is very interactive, involving the students through questions, problem solving and humor.  My visit can also include an evening session for parents demonstrating techniques for reading to and with their child.  The day may consist of up to 8, ½ hour sessions, with one or two classrooms per session and the 1 hour parent meeting in the evening.

Do you sign your books?

I will be happy to bring along copies of my books and sign them.  It would be preferable to presell the books and ship them to your location in advance.  I can provide you with a sample flyer to distribute to teachers and students.   We will need to set aside a time during my visit for the book signing.

How much do you charge?

Turning a New Page recognizes the difficult economic environment facing schools today and is dedicated to providing affordable products and services to meet the needs of all students.  The cost for an author visit is $500.00 per day plus reasonable travel expenses.  Please contact our office for an estimate of travel costs - if your dates are flexible, we will find the most affordable travel package to save you money.
