CHECK LIST FOR YOUR SCHOOL VISIT FOLDER
You can modify to suit your needs but here's an idea what to put together
for a school visit or for a presentation to the school on what you have to offer, within your folder:
-
black (or any color you like) pocket folder, one that has space to place
a business card
-
our brochure to leave with the school
-
mini flyer(s) to hand out
-
writer's introductory letter - what you have to offer in ways of workshops
-
picture permission letter for schools to photocopy beforehand and have
ready to hand out to the classroom you will be visiting
-
our suggested reading material for various age levels
You can add anything else to better prepare yourself for a fun and educational
visit.
AFTER YOUR SCHOOL VISIT FINISHES:
Once you have concluded your visit/workshop, here is a suggestion to offer
to each child to take home with them in a standard manuscript envelope:
-
a Thank You letter addressed to the parents and teachers (TO BE UPLOADED
SOON)
-
an order form to order any of your children's published books (TO BE UPLOADED
SOON)
-
bookmark(s)
-
certificate of participation
-
envelope to place and seal purchase money for books
-
