When I was in sixth grade at City Park Elementary School in Athens, TN, I got to interview my favorite author by telephone – Madeleine L’Engle! (Thank you to my librarian, Ms. Shelia Rollins, for that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!) When I told Ms. L’Engle I wanted to be a writer, she said, “Good for you! Keep reading and you can do it!” So I try my hardest to pay that sentiment forward at every school I visit. 

 

I love visiting schools and doing virtual visits. If you’d like to book a visit for your students, please contact my school visit booking agent, the amazing Ellen Shay with School Visit Dot Connector! (You can read more about Ellen, School Visit Dot Connector, and the amazing authors he represents for school visits here.)

At your school, there is a young reader who wants to write. I hope I have the opportunity to tell that young reader that he or she can do it, too.
