Some additional information about school visits for teachers, librarians, principals:

PROGRAM LENGTH
My presentations are usually 45-60 minutes long.  If needed, I can make them shorter, but I always like as much time as possible.  I appreciate a minimum of 15 minutes between presentations.

AUDIENCE SIZE
I present to groups of any size.  So far, my audiences have ranged in size from four (for a personalized writing workshop) to approximately 300+.

AUDIENCE AGE(S)
I present to groups of any age(s), from toddlers to adults, including groups of mixed ages.  The majority of my presentations have been to elementary school children and mixed audiences (at family nights, etc.)

AUDIOVISUAL/SET-UP NEEDS (for my most popular programs)
Children's Theater
2 tables, 9 chairs, overhead projector/screen, HANDHELD microphone (it's partly for the children, not just for me)

From Writer to Reader: How a Book is Made
2 tables, overhead projector/screen, microphone

Shaping a Story
overhead projector/screen, 2 flipcharts, various colored markers, transparencies, Sharpies for transparencies, microphone, table

Storytelling Plus
overhead projector/screen, microphone

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
I request that schools (and other groups that can) ensure all participants hear/read The Impudent Rooster before my visit.  Although my programs can be enjoyed cold, advance preparation increases audience enjoyment exponentially.

BOOK SALES
I can provide copies of The Impudent Rooster for sale (final book count needed at least 10 days in advance).  Or if you wish, you may connect with Penguin Books to purchase books directly, or arrange for book sales with a local bookstore.  However books are provided, I am glad to autograph all copies of The Impudent Rooster.
