For teachers who want author visits: usually, authors charge, and asking for free visits from authors makes things awkward. One chance you have at free visits is when an author is doing a book tour. #KidlitUK #Edusky 1/2

If you're interested in a particular author, worth checking when their next book is out and contacting the relevant publisher to see if you can hop on a schools tour in launch week or thereabouts. #KidLitUk #Edusky
Or if you're not fussed which author you get, contact a few publishers and say you'd love to be included on a schools tour....don't ask don't get and all that (publishing PRs aren't on here in great numbers yet so they can't shout at me for adding to their workload hehehe) #KidLitUK #Edusky
Look for local authors, if they don't have to travel and they can fit it into their socialising time, they would be generally be happy to do it. Writing is time consuming and the pay day a considerable time in the future. PS. This applies to all creative trying to earn an income from their art.
