Children's Book World

Author Visits

We can arrange an author visit for any school, library, or organization that is purchasing books for the event through our store. There are two types of author visits; Complimentary Visits and Honorarium Visits.

Complimentary Visits

• These are free visits that Children’s Book World arranges in conjunction with publishers when an author is on tour. Although these visits are free, the publishers are now requiring minimum book purchases on complimentary visits.
• If you are interested in hosting a free visit, please contact Laurel O’Connor at authorvisits@childrensbookworld.net so we can add your school’s information to our list.
• Schools will be given an in-store credit based on all sales above the publisher’s minimum requirement.

Honorarium Visits

• These are author visits where the school pays an author to visit their school.
• We are happy to assist in choosing an author for your school. We can also contact an author that you are interested in.
• Schools may be given a percentage on all books sold depending on how the ordering is handled.

School preparation is essential! It is necessary for students to be familiar with the author’s work for a successful visit.
