is the person also charging for the visit/presentation?  might be their way around double dipping if they are taking a personal day from their real job

Hi everyone,

For those of you who have had authors and speakers come to your school, have you ever been charged a "distance charge"?  I am in the process of deciding whether I can afford a speaker to come and talk to our students and the rep. finally got back to me with this in the email:

"$500 distance charge outside M.'s immediate area because M. will have to dedicate an entire day to this visit."

I know that some authors will decrease their fees if they can go other nearby schools, but is this upcharge a common practice?  

Thanks!
