School Visits

My favorite part of writing for kids! Seriously. I’ve visited millions of schools on dozens of planets, and hundreds in the U.S. alone. My talks are story driven and filled with tips on writing and creativity. I’ve outlined a few talks and workshops below, but I’m happy to tailor presentations to a school’s particular needs. Also, I try to be funny. Usually these attempts are successful. Contact me for details.

Here’s what students and schools are saying…

  • "You were extremely funny. Really, I mean it."

    Aimee, Grade 4

  • "Fantastic. So engaging. He really knew how to grab 10-11 year olds…Great lesson in explaining the importance of planning, editing, and revising."

    Hingham, MA Elementary School

  • "Besides the funny stories, I liked how you taught some things."

    Julia, Grade 5
