The school and public librarians of Granby CT teamed up again this past month to host the 3rd Annual Granby Children's Book Festival which featured over 30 children's book authors and illustrators from the nearby region. Please take a look at the list of our participants if you are looking to invite someone to your school--most are very affordable!

Please feel free to ask me any questions about our event as well!

We hosted Jeanne Zulick Ferroulo a few years ago, and she was great! This year, I've invited Michelle A. Barry, from CT also. Another lovely CT author is Nancy Tandon. All three women charge reasonable fees:)

We are looking into local author, Jake Burt.  Will follow this discussion.  Thanks.

I don't recall her exact fee, but Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo came to our school in May of 2024. She is from CT, has great books, and she was engaging and charged a reasonable price. I would have her back if I could.

Has anyone hosted an author visit (in-person or virtual) for middle school that was relatively inexpensive? Maybe around $1k? Local authors would be a plus! _______________________________________________
