AUTHORS/ILLUSTRATORS SCHEDULE OF APPEARANCES

 

Are you interested in saving money on author expenses by arranging an author appearance with an author who is already going to be in your area? If so, just check below. Chances are, you will be asked to split the expenses with the organization or school who set up the author visit shown below, but the savings can still be substantial. If further details about expenses are available, they will be shown just below the authors' names.

 

The following scheduled author appearances are organized alphabetically by state, then city, then author. Once you determine the author you want and the approximate date, contact Catherine@BalkinBuddies.com or phone Catherine Balkin at 718-857-7605 or 917-733-3545.
