I present to K-4. A typical visit is two (2) 45-minute presentations plus a book signing. I can also add a special Author Roundtable with a small group of select students (grades 3-6) who are interested in writing.
COLORADO SPECIALS: Reduced honorarium for school visits, or the option to do 1 school assembly for half the cost.
To book a school visit, contact me directly at natashawing@gmail.com.
In response to schools wanting an author visit for all of K-6, Teresa Funke and I have teamed up so that all of your students have the opportunity to meet an author. Teresa and I will travel together to your school and give presentations catered to the grade levels appropriate for our books (I present to K-3, Teresa presents to 4-6 and can go up to grade 8). For more information, please click to this page on Teresa’s site.
IN NEED OF FUNDING?
Apply for an Amber Brown grant that if chosen, could bring an author (you can request me) to your school plus you'll get $250 to make it a memorable day for your students, and $250 worth of books. Application time is between Nov. 1 and April 15 each year.
I also love doing online visits and offer free 25-minute sessions to individual classrooms in the USA if:
1) Your students have read a sampling of my books and
2) Your school places a minimum order of 20 books. (I can arrange to have signed books mailed to your school if located in the Continental USA.)
Email me to book a visit as I'm only scheduling 2 per month September - May. [Note: one session left in December, February, March, April and May.]
ATTENTION COLORADO SCHOOLS: AUTHOR PARTNERSHIP with DENVER BOOKSTORE
Colorado authors have partnered with Second Star to the Right Bookstore to offer free Skype sessions depending on the number of books purchased. Here is the program and the authors who have signed on.
Here's a fun interview where your students will learn more about me and my Night Before series. It's a great introduction before a school visit or online chat.
And here's another one recorded in April 2018 with fellow Coloradoan author/illustrator, Stan Yan.
What better way to connect your students with books than to meet the person who wrote them.
Jackie Kennedy Onassis rode a train from NYC to Washington, D.C., called the Landmark Express to help bring attention to the U.S. Supreme Court hearing about whether or not to save Grand Central Terminal.
