Participation is open to any school that is interested in promoting Earth Day with a unique author visit, AND has April 22nd available on their school calendar, AND has funding for a full-day author visit and is committed to good preparation for a successful event.
If you are a school interested in hosting an Authors for Earth Day event, and want to find an eco-minded author or illustrator to participate with you, we suggest the following:
We have started a list of Available Authors & Illustrators by state (check back frequently as that list is sure to grow). You may contact our willing participants directly for more information about their city locations, school visit programs, additional book titles, and speaking fees. All of the authors and illustrators listed are traditionally published, which means their titles are not self-published.
If there is an author or illustrator not listed on our website, who you would like to invite for a school visit, you may consider contacting them and asking if they are interested in participating in Authors for Earth Day. Please direct them to this website (www.authorsforearthday.org) for more information about the coalition.
Several authors are already scheduled for A4ED school visits — see our awesome 2010 participants!
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at info@authorsforearthday.org.
