UPCOMING APPEARANCES:
HAVE SARAH SPEAK TO YOUR SCHOOL, LIBRARY OR ORGANIZATION
SCHOOL VISITS
School visits place particular emphasis on the role of revision, and how learning how to write properly is important for every career. Sarah can do presentations to large groups or writing workshops for smaller groups.
Middle School Media Specialist Karen Ball, from Greenwich, CT said this about Sarah's author visit:
"A fantastic presentation for our middle schoolers! We were thrilled to have Sarah Darer Littman come and visit with our students, as she explained how writing has been a part of her life from childhood on, and how both her successes and her failures have taught her important lessons. She was a relaxed, funny and enjoyable presenter, and one whom our students questioned seriously about writing as a profession. It is a wonderful event to have successful authors visit who are able to really talk to students, instead of "talk at" them. Middle school students know the difference, and they appreciate someone who understands what's important to them and who is willing to listen to them, encourage them and take them seriously. Sarah is one of those authors -- and every kid should have the opportunity to meet her and talk to her!"
