Please discuss the books with students and order books at least 3-5 weeks before my appearance. Sharpies and a nice table for signing afterwards.A bottle of water, Diet Mountain Dew, maybe some fruit.A basic music stand to sit my book on for the reading.If you think I’ll need a mic, that will work as well. I love taking pictures with students, librarian, teachers, lunch ladies, whoever. We’ll finish up with a book signing for students who have ordered books and of course pictures. After that, I will conduct a quick trivia game and ask questions to the students to see if they were paying attention. The Q &A is my favorite part of the presentation. Nothing is off limits…well…almost nothing. That’s followed by a lively Q& A or brief discussion on the themes of the book section where students and teachers can ask about the writing process, editing, particular characters, personal questions,etc. The reading is centered around the interest of the hosting group or determined by age group/class level. The presentation consist of a brief introduction of my background where I come from, how I became interested in reading and writing, my family life,etc.), a PowerPoint presentation that follows my path as a kid to becoming a published author. Little folks, K-1, don’t want to sit that long, and I more than understand).
My 35-45 minute presentation (length depends on the age of the audience. I usually present for grade levels K-8, but I also have experience speaking to high school students as a mentor. My school presentations are simply an introduction to who I am as a father, husband and a writer.
