Happy Friday all!

I'm hosting poet Charles Waters on March 27, 2020 at my school in West Hartford. I was wondering if anyone else would like to join me in hosting him this week. He is coming from NYC and will take the train and rent a car if needed so travel expenses won't be high as it would be if he needed to fly. I told him I would pick him up for my author visit or provide a ride service and he was fine with that. 

His fee is $500 per assembly, but said he would be open to providing a discount if more schools book him that week. I am hosting him for grades 3-5 and I like that there is less prep involved since we can more quickly read his work as a poet. He does both middle and elementary visits.

Here is his visits page for more info.

He has a new book coming out in February called Dictionary for a Better World. You can preview the entire book here: https://www.netgalley.com/widget/206352/redeem/09651eb04dcdc85136f772707edd15a27e534f4c8ea5373957b54795f8a59db6

Let me know if you're interested.
