Frequently Asked Questions
How many students can attend?
Assemblies can accommodate a single class, an entire grade level, or a full school, depending on your space.
What technology is required?
Typically: projector or large display, either an HDMI connection (for a laptop) or USB-c connection for an iPad, and 1-2 microphones for larger groups.
Can presentations be customized?
Absolutely. Every school is different, and presentations can be tailored to fit your schedule and learning goals.
Do you travel?
Yes! Author visits are available throughout the United States. When I’m already traveling for bookstore events or conferences, schools in the area can often reduce travel costs by booking during those dates.

Why Schools Invite Me
Students don’t just hear about writing—they become storytellers.
Through humor, audience participation, and collaborative storytelling, students leave believing something incredibly important:
“You don’t need permission to be creative.”
