AUTHOR VISITS FOR SCHOOLS & LIBRARIES

Let's make some stories.

Bring an author and illustrator into the room for a lively, visual look at how books and comics get made—from childhood dreams and messy sketches to finished graphic novels.

WHAT YOUR STUDENTS EXPERIENCE

More than a presentation.

My goal is to make a school visit feel like a conversation about creativity—one that leaves students excited to draw, write, read, and make stories of their own.

01

How books get made

I share my path to becoming a comic creator and take students behind the scenes of writing, drawing, revising, and turning an idea into a finished book.

02

Live drawing

Students get to see the drawing process happen in real time. It keeps the visit visual, spontaneous, and fun.

03

Questions welcome

Every session includes time for students to ask about books, art, monsters, creativity, publishing, or whatever else they’re curious about.

IN PERSON

A full day with your students.

When I visit your school, you have me for the day. Sessions are typically 30–45 minutes, and you can schedule multiple groups throughout the school day.
  • Recommended for grades 3–8
  • Multiple sessions available
  • Creative-process presentation
  • Live sketching + student Q&A

VIRTUAL

A classroom visit from anywhere.

A virtual visit brings the same presentation, drawing, conversation, and Q&A to your students without the added travel costs.
  • Recommended for grades 2–6
  • 30–45 minute session
  • Screen-shared art and process
  • Live sketching + student Q&A

A FREE VISIT, RIGHT NOW

See what a visit feels like.

I know a live visit isn’t possible for every school. This recorded presentation walks students through the story of how I became a comic creator, what I learned while pursuing that dream, and how creative work actually gets made. Use it in a classroom, library, art club, or anywhere young creators could use a little encouragement.

STUDENT Q&A

Questions, answers & more drawing.

Students always have great questions. In this companion video, I answer some of the ones I hear most often and do some sketching along the way.
