School Visits with Susan Hill Long
For the time being, I'm offering virtual visits only, via Zoom or Google Meet. I know we're all fully-saturated with virtual living! It's been hard, especially for teachers and students. So let's keep it short and sweet! How about a 20-minute conversation? How about we make it free?
My virtual book club visits are free and generally run 20 minutes. They work best with a class or book club that has read one of my books and wants to hear about that one in more depth. These virtual times together are meant to be enjoyed live and so they cannot be recorded.
For a longer school visit that includes the kinds of classroom connections listed below, please use the contact tab to email me, and we can set something up. I look forward to hearing from you!
School Visits:
Cost: $250 per virtual presentation
Number of students: Each presentation may accommodate up to 100 students.
Presentations are 50 minutes, which includes Powerpoint and 15 minutes of Q&A (Note: basic Zoom plan has a 40-minute limit; see below)
My virtual presentations are best suited for grades 5 thru 7 and include all of the elements of my in-person visits:
