Becoming an Author

Hello Authors! Today we are going to talk about school visits and how to set up an author school visit at local and non-local schools, who to contact, how to reach out, and more!  Keep in mind that many schools are having virtual visits in replacement of in-person so even with current events and future situations, the method is near identical.

I do not recommend using this setting, but since I accidentally got one delivered, it seemed like a good time to show you the risk of choosing that option! I hope this video helps and happy publishing!
