One of the most lucrative and profitable sales channels for authors is presenting their books at schools. But finding these opportunities and taking full advantage of them can be confusing and intimidating.

This course will teach you how to secure author visits and generate substantial earnings from each appearance. 

This class is for authors at any level (beginner through expert) who are looking to add school visits to their litany of sales channels, or who are looking to improve upon the school visits they are currently doing, in order to improve revenue and increase their number of overall appearances.

This 2-part webinar will give you the information and tools you need to be successful with school visits, including:

CLASS TWO: 

In the second class, presenter Jay Miletsky will present his best-selling book, Ricky, the Rock that Couldn't Roll as though he were actually presenting an assembly to an elementary school of K-3 students. Along the way he'll give notes on what he's doing at certain points and why. 

This presentation has evolved over the years, enrapturing thousands of students from hundreds of schools across the country, the vast majority of which have asked him back year after year.
