School Visits
"Emily was an absolute rockstar during her visit with our school! Her ability to engage the students was outstanding and the kids walked away incredibly excited about writing and reading! As a school that hosts a variety of authors each year, I can honestly say that Emily gave one of the best received and most interesting presentations we have ever had. if you have a chance to book her for your school or event, jump at it!!"
--Gillian Grimm, Librarian, Sunnyside Environmental School
I love sharing excitement about books, reading and writing! In my visits we'll explore finding the spark of a story, ways to write and revise, and the discoveries and adventures of research. Some of the best treasures come up in Q & A.
Please get in touch to find out more about setting up a visit to your school or a virtual visit!
