Are you an teacher, librarian, or event organizer interested in having me as a speaker?
If so, drop me a line at john (at) johncfordbooks (dot) com. I’m currently scheduling events for the 2011-12 school year and would love to include you in my plans.
Here’s some basic information to tide you over in the meantime:
What do you speak about?
Not to dodge the question, but that depends. My first consideration is your vision for the event, and I’m happy to adapt my presentation accordingly.
Typically, my talks cover the inspirations behind my stories, how my legal background affects my writing, and how to construct a mystery plot. I also offer a writing workshop, which works best with smaller groups. All of my sessions are interactive---the more hands in the air, the better.
Are you presentations appropriate for all ages?
My writing is addressed to ages 12 and up, and I prefer audiences in that age range.
Will you do multiple presentations in a single day?
I certainly will. My standard fee covers up to three presentations a day.
Will you sign students’ books for them?
But of course! I love to work with schools and event organizers that will set aside some time for an author signing.
