In my Selling Yourself (without selling yourself short) workshops, I always advise folks, when they do offer (rare) free #AuthorVisits, to always have a signed invoice anyway, where the full cost is listed & the discount (and reason for it) is shown. That way they see what a bargain they're getting.

As a recovering classroom teacher, I love leaving my laptop for a classroom full of happy faces. Planning: I always think that I can recycle presentations and PowerPoints, but I always redo them #KidLitChat #AuthorVisits

As far as $$$ When I first left the classroom & began writing, I did #Authorvisits for free because I'm a teacher at heart & knew about funds. My publisher actually heard about that & asked me to stop, since many authors make a substantial part of their income from appearances #KitLiChat

Zoom isn't my favorite w kids. Administration likes them because they're less expensive, but the electricity w the kids isn't the same. And the value of #authorvisits is kids' excitement in seeing a human behind the book. Plus, kids fire me up & I know I'm a better presenter in person. #kidlitchat

Sad reflection on the state of British schools when you do author visits in 2 schools who can't afford adequate heating. I've seen staff in coats and with blankets and hot water bottles. My visits are free.

I'm busy taking bookings for school #authorvisits this week. I’d no idea how much I’d LOVE school visits when I first started writing.
#workdbookday (5th March) is always a busy time, so if you'd like a Neurons or Frog's Bog workshop, get in touch whilst there are still some spaces. #authorreading
