In-Person Visits
Jackie Baumgartner of Phillipsburg, Kansas called my visit a “Big Vivid,” a cross-curricular learning moment that teachers, students, and community members still remember and talk about years later.
My author visits have been called inspirational, informative, and entertaining. I always tailor my presentations to meet your students’ needs.
My current honorarium for an in-person visit is $1200 plus reasonable travel expenses for a full day of up to 4 presentations, plus autographing. If you’d like to have a “Big Vivid” at your school or more information about my author visits, please contact me directly.
“Marsha Diane Arnold and her books treat kids as thinkers and speak of good things…kind of like Mr. Rogers.” —Judy Northrup, homeschooler, former children’s librarian.
Virtual Visits
If you’d prefer a virtual school visit, I love to Zoom!
I do a limited number of free 15 minute virtual visits each year, so please book early.
If you’d like a longer Zoom visit, which can include a “Funshop” (some people call them workshops), a 45 minute presentation is usually $300, but always negotiable.
