School Visits
School visits are my favorite part of being an author!
As a theatre major with years of experience with playwriting, directing and acting, I create presentations filled with theatrical elements and surprises that keep students engaged.
I’m available for in person visits (mostly Austin-area schools) and virtual visits (anywhere in the world!)
Certain schools in Austin, TX may qualify for a FREE visit with Project WISE, through the Writers’ League of Texas.
I am passionate about diversity and representation in children’s books. I’m not available for any events that discriminate against marginalized or underrepresented people.
If you’re interested in booking a school visit, please contact Carmen Oliver at carmenoliver@thebookingbiz.com
