Melissa Taylor Author School Visits

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.

Virtual Visits

Virtual visits feature a story read aloud, an activity, and a question-and-answer time.

Contact Melissa for pricing and details.

  • 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.

  • Engaging!

    “Students were talking about Melissa and her book, Tova’s Sweet Solution, throughout the day. She was enthusiastic and interacted with the students throughout her presentation, keeping them engaged.”
