Author Visits

Welcome School & Kindergarten Teachers!

How much does an author visit cost?

For schools and kindergartens that are looking to use funding for an author visit, check out the recommended rates on the Australian Author Association website.

There are alternatives to paying for an author visit outright. Some schools prefer to commit to a minimum book order quota (met by parents and school book funding allocations). I’m always open to discussing options and can send a quote depending on your unique needs.

If you spend your days inspiring children in Melbourne and Eastern Regional Victoria, consider an author visit.

Author visits are best suited to kiddies between 4 and 10 years of age, but sessions can be modified to suit those who are a little younger or older, as well as bigger kids who could benefit from something a little different!

Presentations are 30 minutes for younger children, and between 45 minutes and an hour for older groups. In each session, we will read the book together, chat about key themes within the book, and enjoy some fun and engaging activities. For older groups, we will also chat about the writing, illustration, and book production process.

Are you outside Melbourne? Get in touch and we can talk about a virtual author visit via Zoom or Google Meet.
