SCHOOL VISITS
I ❤ school visits and book fairs! Write me at carol@carolweston.com.
I've spoken at schools from Alaska to Florida and I love getting students fired up about reading and writing. I can address a big group of kids grades 3, 4, 5, and also talk to the whole middle school or high school. If your school is all-girls, we can do "FOR GIRLS ONLY" or, say, "SEVENTH GRADE CONFIDENTIAL." Sometimes students scribble questions on index cards ahead of time and I answer on stage. Sometimes stores and schools team up, as Politics & Prose did (see below). Ideally, schools distribute book order forms.
If you have a SPANISH or FRENCH Immersion School, I really can present in español or français. Extra fun for me and the kids.
Planning an author visit? Carol Weston gets kids reading and writing. Her 14 books include AVA AND TACO CAT (Apr '15), AVA AND PIP, and GIRLTALK. She's been "Dear Carol" at Girls' Life for 20 years. carolweston.com Subscribe: http://full.sc/O70jWt
A School Visit, Explained
