BookPeople is able to bring the biggest and brightest names in children’s literature to Austin and surrounding area schools. Think: Max Brallier, Dav Pilkey, Sharon Draper, Shannon Hale & LeUyen Pham, Tami Charles, Jon Scieszka, Kwame Alexander, Jeff Kinney, Ryan Higgins, AND SO MANY MORE! Each season we coordinate with publishers to bring touring authors directly to your schools.
Booking your virtual or in person author event has never been easier!
- Fill out a proposal form for the author(s) you are interested in hosting.
- Schedule your event date and time.
- Promote the event! Let students and teachers know their favorite author will be stopping by to chat! We provide you with a promotional flyer with a link to purchase books through bookpeople.com
- Meet your author LIVE at the school or LIVE on ZOOM!
- We will send an event host to your school for in-person events
- For virtual events, you provide the link and we’ll meet up on zoom for an awesome event!!
As always, these events are free to the school, but we do require a minimum number of books to be sold. Books are sold directly through bookpeople.com. If you want to collect payments via cash or check as well, you can accept them (payable to the school), and we will invoice you for the total after the fact.
Book Only Events
You’ve scheduled the author on your own, now all you need is books. We’re happy to help! Order your books through us and pick them up curbside when they arrive. Minimum order: 20 books.
