The truth hurts.
Now booking 2023-2024 School Visits
The current academic year is coming to an end, and I couldn’t be happier with how many schools I had the privilege of visiting over the past few months. This seemed like the year many schools finally returned to something approaching “normal” post-Covid in terms of bringing in guest speakers. It was incredible getting to talk to so many children about The Fifth Quarter graphic novel series and how cartooning works.
I have started booking visits for 2023-2024. Children love an assembly presentation about comics and graphic novels. My talks run about 45 minutes long, and can be delivered to individual grades or to all the students in one large group. I combine live-drawing and cartooning, with an informative and entertaining slideshow that will make the kids laugh as well as teach them a lot about how comics work and how to see the world as writers. I also offer one-hour cartooning workshops for smaller groups, where I work with the kids one-on-one to guide them through a series of cartooning activities using a workbook that I have designed.
If you think your elementary school students might benefit from a presentation such as mine, reach out using the webform on my Author Visit website, or just email me directly.
Thanks for reading along!
