Standard Fees - 2005/2006 School Year

Payable on Delivery of Services

  • $600 Local School Visit for a day (up to 5 presentations). If I've already been to your school and it's a repeat visit, we'll work something out.

  • $200 minimum for one classroom presentation.

  • $400 Poetry Workshop.

  • $50 to $75 Honorarium:
    Libraries
    Pre-schools

  • $600 Out of State School Visit, plus traveling expenses, room, meals. (See Personal Note, below)

  • With the exception of Punxsutawney, PA which is local, when I drive to your school, there will be a $.51 per mile charge added in or the cost of gas (your choice).

    Outside of Pennsylvania, (and depending on your location in the midwest) it might be less expensive for a plane, train or bus ticket -- lots of special online fare deals these days.

    **Personal Note: I will assume the cost of transportation if you can get me five or more schools in your local area.


There are ways to get me to your school for less:


1. Split the cost of transportation, lodging, meals with other local schools in your town. I'll spend one day in 'School A', one day in 'School B', one day in 'School C', etc.

2.Have a school raffle and sell tickets for a copy of Barking Spiders and Other Such Stuff before my visit to your school. Tell me and I'll even donate the book for your raffle.

3. Have a school raffle and/or advertise in the local paper about a whole town raffle and sell tickets for a "Dinner with the Author" night at a nice restaurant. The winners will have my undivided attention for the evening.

4. Arrange for a fun place in your area for me to take my husband on a mini vacation -- a cabin in the mountains, an apartment on the beach, a cute little Bed and Breakfast, etc. You arrange the accomodations for a few days, I'll spend a day at your school for free.

5. Arrange to have me come to your school when I'm already going to be in your area and save the cost of transportation.
