Upcoming
Readings
For
Children and Young Adults
James is frequently invited to give readings and book talks about his
novels at schools and libraries for children, grades 7 to 12. He usually
begins with a humorous, but seriously-intended, talk about the importance
of reading, but he is also available to speak about the writing process,
stressing the importance of rewriting and polishing. Other topics are
also available by arrangement. The ideal size for readings is between
30 and 60 participants.
Fee $250 (plus travel and accommodation) for a 60 minute presentation,
followed by 15 minutes for questions and answers. $450 for two readings
on the same day.
"...
We enjoyed the reading that you did here at Tansley Woods Library in Burlington,
Ontario. That very evening a young lad came in with his mom and asked
for 'any of your books!' How nice to know that young kids are being touched
by your books. Thanks again." - Jane Kopps
For Parents,
Teachers, and Librarians
James also
gives readings, book talks, and lectures for adults on such subjects as:
reading as a regular activity in the home, reading solutions for parents
of reluctant readers, and creative writing. Other popular topics are "the
craft of writing" (including such sub-categories as point of view
and voice in fiction) and "the publishing process".
