EDUCATORS, I'D ❤️ TO MEET YOUR AWESOME STUDENTS!
It gives me such joy to connect with schools and students both in-person and virtually! Please email me at mae(at)maerespicio(dot)come or contact me via this form (under Let’s Say Hello) and I will send you a list of rates and presentation topics to choose from.
I understand that bringing an author into your school is an investment and will not work for all groups. I donate a limited number of free 15-minute Q&A virtual visits for classrooms and book clubs who’ve read one of my books—please contact me via this form (under Let’s Say Hello). I also offer free 15-minute readings + Q&As via World Read Aloud Day each February, and will post the sign-up sheet here on my website around December 2023.
Here are a couple of wonderful blog posts about how to fund a visit at your school or library:
