[CASL-L] Marc Tyler Nobleman in the area soon

[L. Williams]

Hi all,

Pardon the duplication. I happen to have met Marc years ago and I've heard
from some of you that he's an excellent guest to have at your school or
library. He asked me, and I was willing to post this information for him.
He is looking for schools to visit between October 2 and 4, so it's soon!

Watch this YouTube video to see a clip of him.

Here's the blurb he sent. ~ Linda Williams, Retired Youth Services
Consultant

*"Best author speaker in 30 years" to your school?*
> Marc Tyler Nobleman, Connecticut native and Maryland author of books for
> young readers (see titles below) who has been invited to speak at schools

> *This is NOT your typical author visit. Three glimpses of what you'll get:*
> "In 30 years of hosting best-selling authors, Marc's presentation was the
> best I have ever witnessed. Judging from the student response, he
> transformed what it means to be a writer."
> *—Karen Palko, middle school teacher, International School of Kuala
> Lumpur, Malaysia*
> "I've never seen an author have such an impact as did Marc. And it's all
> the more surprising because he concentrated on research and the practice of
> writing. In a grocery store, a colleague overheard a 4th grader heatedly
> discussing the presentation with his father."
> *—Lisa Casey, library media specialist, Jamestown School District, RI*
> "I have known Marc and his work with children in schools for at least
> eight years and I can tell you with complete honesty that he is the best,
> the very best, in inspiring children. He is able to empathize with them
> (and adults, also) to an incredible degree. I cannot recommend him highly
> enough."
> —Susie Mee, Director, Authors Read Aloud (a Learning Leaders program), New
> York, NY
> Marc's book *Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman* changed
> history

> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcBDjjY2swE>), the first film based on a
> nonfiction picture book. It's making people cry worldwide

> "Marc was awesome. I have received a great deal of positive feedback from
> teachers and students. I am so glad we had him because both assemblies, K-2
> and 3-5, were wonderful. He tailors his presentations to meet each age
> group. Much of what he talks about fits in beautifully with our curriculum,
> too. He was very easy to work with, and it was a low maintenance
> presentation. I strongly recommend Marc."
