Regarding Author Visits: If you're a teacher, librarian or administrator who's interested in setting up an author visit, you can email me directly. I offer presentations and workshops for a variety of budgets, especially if you're local (i.e. Vermont) and you work with independent booksellers.

Some librarians and teachers have been kind enough to share the following endorsements:

"I want to highly recommend Aaron Starmer for an author visit. We recently hosted him for what must have been an exhausting day-long visit with 6th-8th graders. His book, The Riverman, won our Mock Newbery Award this year and was our top circulating book of the year so he already has a lot of fans here. He met with several English classes throughout the day (combined 6th, 7th, 8th) and gave a great presentation about storytelling and memories. It was the type of presentation that didn't depend on kids having read the book. He had kids on the edge of their seats but he was also very funny too. I think the most impressive thing was that it was a huge hit with both 6th and 8th graders which is a hard gap to fill and I could see high school students enjoying it as well. He also met with our book club informally during lunch periods including our Mock Newbery and read to them from his 3rd book so the kids were beyond thrilled." - Rachel Ricker, librarian at the Horace Mann School in New York, New York.
“The 4th grade teachers at SES feel lucky to have hosted Aaron Starmer over the years. His presentations are highly motivating and memorable to our students. He helps our students understand the writing process, the decisions authors make in their writing, and the level of commitment it takes to publish books. His presentations are polished, engaging, and humorous. “ - Sean Semler, fourth grade teacher at Stowe Elementary School in Stowe, Vermont.
“Aaron was kind enough to travel to Indiana to speak to some elementary students competing in a trivia competition on books called Battle of the Books. He is an engaging, funny, and encouraging speaker, and his passion about his work is very evident in his presentations. The kids were thrilled to hear from him and learn more about his Locker 37 series!” - Megan Howes, librarian for Vigo County Public Library in Terre Haute, Indiana.
