Speaking fees - 2011

My rates are listed below.

But before you scroll down, please know that I'd love to visit schools without a fee.   Unfortunately, I have to deal with expenses and the reality of being away from my writing desk. 

As a result, I request an honorarium, plus travel and lodging.

Often, schools share these costs with PTA groups, local reading councils, arts councils, community organizations, or nearby schools and libraries.   Many schools also choose to sell my books, using profits to help cover the costs. 

Grants are also available!   If your school, library, group, or conference is located in South Dakota, the South Dakota Humanities Council Speakers Bureau may be able to cover a generous portion of my honorarium and expenses.  

For details, see http://www.sdhumanities.org/programs_bureau.htm 

Applications should be submitted five weeks before the day of my presentation.

For more information, contact me (605) 996-2110 or call the South Dakota Humanities Council: (605) 688-6113.
