School Visits, Skype, and the Like.
For school and public library visits in the metro Boston area, my fee is $100/hour for sessions including a talk about my books and a question and answer session about publishing and writing. If my book is used in curriculum, and the entire class or large majority have read the book, I will attend the first three schools who request in each school year, for the reduced rate of $60/hour if I can reach you by public transportation) For more tailored sessions where I teach about the industry, how to get published, various aspects of writing for the young adult audience, or writing in general, my fee is $175/hr (ish) depending upon length of class time.
Outside of the Boston area, my fees are $350/day for school visits with up to 3 sessions during the course of the school day, along with travel expenses (airfare, ground transportation, and hotel). My personal preference is to work with individual teachers rather than large scale assemblies. I'm happy to tailor my talks to the needs of individual teachers as I was a teacher for many years myself.
For Skype visits - I will do five classroom groups per year for free. My regular fee is $25/half hour. For GSA groups or other LGBTQIA organizations who have read one of my LGBTQIA themed books, I will Skype for free for half an hour to an hour depending upon my current schedule.
