Melissa Taylor Author School Visits

Melissa loves to talk about writing and storytelling. As a former elementary teacher, she loves school author visits to inspire and connect with kids!  She offers both in-person and virtual visits, presenting to grades preschool through middle school.

In-Person School Visits

Author school visit presentations are tailored to the particular age group and size of the group. Melissa can present to a large audience of students or teach smaller, classroom-sized writing workshops.

Large Groups

Melissa can focus on lots of areas, including:

Storytime + Write What You Know (Grades 1 – 8)

Storytime + Play With Your Words (Grades 2 – 5)

Storytime & Problem/Solution Stories (PreK, K)

Storytime + Growth Mindset (Grades 2-5)

Writing Workshops

Writing workshops for classrooms will focus on any element of writing craft or storytelling.

Contact Melissa with the dates you’re interested in booking, grade levels, and presentation preferences.

  • Although virtual for a large group,

    she used creative strategies to keep the students engaged. I enjoyed the mix of reading her book with discussion and writing activities embedded.
