NEW! Teachers Guides Tailored for You and a chance to win a signed copy of THREE NINJA PIGS!

You wrote a book and it was published?  Hooray for you!

But now you are drowning in a schedule of school and library visits! 

You are a writer NOT a teacher! 

What do you do? 

How do you fill the other 40 minutes when it only takes 5 minutes to read your book?!
How do you entice teachers to want to use your book year after year?

That’s where I come in! 

I can develop a guide for you to share with teachers and librarians, as well as tailored lessons and activities that you can use for your Author Visits.

I am a former teacher and I am here to help!  I am currently creating Teacher’s Guides for Picture Books, Middle Grade novels and Young Adult novels. 

You will receive:

·         An initial phone consultation to talk about your wants and needs.

·         An a la carte menu for your guide.  Pick and choose which topics you want covered, or go all the way with a thorough cross-curricular option.

·         Activities created specifically for your Author Visits.

·         A guide fully developed to enrich students’ experiences.  

·         Lessons and activities which are "core curriculum standard compliant".

·         Options for every budget!

I just love helping students connect and engage with a piece of literature  so that it suddenly comes alive for the individual!
