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 will be confident in knowing how to create, present, and book author school visits.
This course will cover everything you need to get started — from developing content for your school visit presentation to learning how to effectively engage with young readers to partnering with schools to book the events. Also, this course will recommend resources to use for no-cost or low-cost to create and market your school visits. Students who are dedicated beginners with a commitment to learning how to create, prepare, and present author school visit presentations will benefit most from this course.
This is a beginner course on preparing to present author school visits and marketing a children’s book through school visits.
