My presentations are most suitable for grades three through six and include:
- Visuals of my childhood writings and my journey to becoming an author
- The inspiration behind each of my books
- Insight into how authors turn real-life events into fictional stories
- A look at how I create all the illustrations for my books
- My all-time favorite, sure-fire writing technique with plenty of student involvement
- A 10-15 minute Q&A session with students
- Worksheets or lesson plans for teachers to extend the learning experience in the classroom
I offer a range of programs and am open to customizing my visit to meet your classroom’s unique needs. Let’s create a memorable experience that will leave students inspired, engaged, and excited about the world of books!
STORYTIME WITH LYNN PAGE
This 20-minute (or 60-minute) program includes an introduction, a reading of my books, and a brief Q & A with the kids. Book me for one or weekly if you wish to do these virtually. I have 5 children’s books to share! The first one is free if you book me for any of my programs below. If you’d like me for an in-person storytime, it’s an hour program, and I would read my books along with a Q&A.
In School Children’s Book Reading w/ Q&A | Cost $300.00
VIRTUAL VISITS
Lynn Page is available for virtual visits globally through Zoom. Visits usually run around 45 minutes but can be tailored depending on a school or teacher’s needs. Virtual visits can also be booked for homeschooling and book clubs. Free 10-minute Q & A virtual sessions are also available. While it’s not quite like being together in person, lots can be shared through virtual meetings!
For the complete 45-minute program, fees are per presentation. A technical run-through can be very helpful before the actual “visit.” No recording of virtual sessions is allowed without prior permission.
Virtual Children’s Book Reading w/Q&A | $200.00
LIBRARY STORYTIME
Librarians already know how influential they are in the reading ecosystem. A visit with an author or illustrator is a wonderful way to connect children—and their families—with the magic of books and reading. I will show my written rough and illustrator’s drafts and then read aloud the final book! The students will be able to ask me questions about the process!
To support the library visit, I will create flyers that I can put up at the library and kid-friendly places and share with local schools. I’d also be sharing that flyer/announcement on my Facebook and Instagram account pages, and adding suitable hashtags, to try to capture the attention of wider audiences.
NUTS AND BOLTS:
Here are some forms and information to help you plan for my visit to your school. If you schedule me for a visit, you will receive a full Author Visit Packet stuffed with great teaching ideas and items to post on bulletin boards.
I will make up to three presentations in one day. My presentations are generally about 45 minutes long. Workshops may run a bit longer, and presentations to Pre-K groups are usually shorter. I will use PowerPoint if appropriate or show a portfolio of original art and photographs. I prefer to use a microphone for talks to larger audiences.
I am based in Sugar Land, TX, and consider visits in all counties and in the Greater Houston area “local.” For “out of town” visits, I request compensation for my travel and accommodation expenses in addition to my fee. I recognize that inviting an author to your school or library can be expensive, and I am open to discussing ways to make it happen if your budget is small.
