1. O.K., so you've thought about it and you're ready to make it happen! Next step: fill in the Request for Author Appearance form and either mail it or email it as noted at the bottom of the form.

2. Once received, your request will be forwarded to the author/illustrator for consideration. In some cases, the author/illustrator will contact you directly to follow-up. If the author/illustrator declines your request you will be notified by the author/illustrator, at which time other options can be explored.

3. If the author/illustrator accepts your request, you will receive a written confirmation letter. This will include contact information, the date and general format of the appearance, type of audience and honorarium. In addition to the letter, you will receive book ordering information and a sampling of any available promotional materials.


Note: Once the appearance is arranged, you will be in direct contact with the author/illustrator to coordinate travel/hotel arrangements and any equipment necessary for his presentation. Please use the contact information on the confirmation letter to finalize all such arrangements with the author/illustrator soon after you receive it.
