I can present for up to 100 kids in a presentation, but the problem is that I can never get to all the questions. A group of 40 – 60 is good, but obviously the smaller the better. For the older group, because it is all discussion, I prefer groups of 25 to 30 students. Writing workshop sizes should not exceed 20 participants so they have time to read what they have written and get instant feedback.

LENGTH: The programs run for 60 minutes each. The workshops vary according to audience, and can range from one hour to several days.

Honorariums and expenses for presentations:

• $800 for 3, one-hour sessions of “Behind the Books” or three presentations of the “Rites of Passage” reading and discussion, or any combination thereof, plus a lunch with future writers, and a parents evening presentation and book signing.
• $950 for 4, one-hour presentations/workshops, lunch with future writers. Plus all travel expenses. There is a fee discount for multiple school visits in an area. Please ask for details.
