Schedule an Author Visit

Julie Stroebel Barichello is available to visit all grade levels with a range of presentations about writing, publishing, imagination, and creativity.

Presentations range from 20 to 60 minutes and include time for question-and-answer sessions with students. Presentations can be a standard author talk about the topics noted above or a custom topic discussed in advance between the author and teacher. Standard rates are $200 for three or fewer in-person presentations in one day. Four or more in-person presentations are $400 per day. Reimbursement of costs for travel and overnight accommodation may be required depending on the distance of travel if surpassing 150-mile round trip. Virtual classroom or library visits are $50. (Note: Personalized signed books can be ordered in advance of virtual visits and be shipped to the school.)

• 20 BOOK SALES = A FREE VISIT! Schools or libraries can offer books for sale before the scheduled visit. If 20 books are sold, the fee for the visit is waived. (Travel reimbursement may still apply for visits exceeding a 150-mile round trip.) Books will be delivered in person on the day of the presentation. For signed copies, teachers or librarians can submit a list of student and/or buyer names before the visit to have personalized messages written in each book and signed by author. Books are sold at a discount for school visits: $5 for each Sarah & Katy book, $10 for The Mountain of Dempsey Molehill.
