School Visits FEES

Some states have funds for visits from authors; others do not. If your school doesn't have funds for author visits, please invite Libby anyway: Fees schools have paid range from $75 to $750! She is grateful for each and every one. It's an honor to be asked and a pleasure to spend time with children, librarians, and teachers. THE AMOUNTS HERE ARE FOR SCHOOLS WITH FUNDS FOR AUTHORS!

Elementary and Middle Schools
One day $500 (average for schools with funds for author visits).

One day can include up to five presentations. If this is not enough time for all the classes that would like to meet with Libby, or some classes would like longer presentations, she can return the following morning for no charge or do a second day for an additional $350.

Transportation and Lodging
If your school is more than an hour's drive from Mystic, Connecticut, Libby does require a travel stipend to cover the cost of gas and (if necessary) lodging the night before the visit.

Book Groups and Libraries
If Libby will be in your area, and your group is reading Blow Out the Moon, she would love to join in the discussion. There is no fee for this: she will not be making a presentation, just joining the conversation.
