I am truly honored to have contributed to this amazing resource. But most of all, I am excited to utilize School Visit Wizard as I book my own school visits! As a former teacher, I am quite comfortable creating the content for my presentations, but what a special treat to have expert Emma Walton Hamilton as a coach, by my side, taking me step-by-step through the entire process – from preparation to payment! Thank you so much, Emma. This product is jam-packed with your guidance and generosity. School Visit Wizard is definitely the valuable asset I need for my career’s next chapter.

School Visit Wizard is absolutely fabulous! Everything is laid out so clearly and your advice is so detailed. I especially liked the ideas for storytelling activities aimed at specific age groups, and your audio on how to give an effective presentation/reading. Also, Marcie Colleen’s article on writing a teacher’s guide is incredible! This website has value beyond school author visits, and is definitely appropriate for experienced school presenters as well as novices. I will be recommending this site not only to authors, but to publisher publicity departments so they can better prepare their authors!

From the minute I found out my first book would be published, I was terrified by the prospect of seeking out school visits. The process seemed mystifying and insurmountable for a new author. Although I did manage to book a few visits based on personal connections, I couldn’t see how to expand my reach. After taking Emma’s course, I booked three visits within a month, and one school bought 250 copies of my book! I’m already gearing up for the 2016 school year only now I’m no longer afraid because I know exactly what I need to do.
