Schedule An Author Visit
James is available for visits to schools, bookstores, libraries, conferences and conventions, and other venues throughout the year. Visits and presentations are appropriate for any age group or grade level up to and including adults. Book sales and signings at these visits are also available, but not required.
School visits are typically all-day and are divided into multiple sessions with two in the morning and two in the afternoon. A larger group presentation with smaller workshops to follow also works. Since these are all-day visits, there is some flexibility on the part of scheduling and being developed as part of the curriculum.
If you would like to arrange an author visit or have questions, contact James directly at: james@jamesobarnes.com
