Author Visits

Dear Educators: One of my favorite parts of being an author is meeting and talking about books with children! ​If you'd like to schedule a virtual author visit, please send me an email at coffsay@gmail.com. If there is a type of program you are interested in that I haven't included, please reach out — we can brainstorm ideas and I can create a custom offering!

Presentation details:

• Pre-K - 6 - Virtual Read-aloud followed by 20 min Q&A.
• K-6 - 45 minutes (see presentation topics below)
• School must provide hosting platform for virtual visits (test call available upon request)
• Recording is prohibited.
• Book sales not required. Personalized books can be ordered from Children's Book World in Los Angeles.

Presentation topics include:

• Where do ideas come from? I will share the inspiration for my books and provide students with tools for generating their own ideas.
• From idea to publication - an overview (and inside look) of how an idea becomes a picture book you can hold.
• The revision process - writing is re-writing! I will share my own revision tools and help students apply them to their own writing.
• Personalized programs for your school may be requested.
