Description

In this course you'll learn how to create, prepare, present, and book school visits as a children's book author with confidence.

We'll cover these steps to create a children's book marketing foundation for a successful school visit event:

Section 1: INTRO & PRESENTATION GOALS

Section 4: ORGANIZING PRESENTATION CONTENT

Section 6: TIMING OF YOUR PRESENTATION

Section 9: FEES, INSURANCE, & CONTRACTS

Engaging with your young readers through a school visit is one of the most rewarding events you can do as a children’s book author.

Your children's book is written, published, or soon-to-be released and one of the best ways to get it in the hands of your young readers (and keep your book in print!) is doing school visits. You've invested a lot of time, energy, and emotion into your book -- presenting at schools as a visiting author can ensure your book captures the spotlight.

By the end of this course you’ll be confident in knowing how to create your presentation that best fits your personality, your story, educator expectations, and your audience. You’ll also have all the tools you need to know on how to present with confidence and how to promote and book your school visits. Students who are dedicated author marketing beginners with a commitment to learning how to create, prepare, and present author school visit presentations will benefit most from this course.


Who this course is for:

  • Ideally, students should write for children pre-school through teens and be seeking publication or have a finished book that is published or soon-to-be published.
