Hello, This is of primary interest to school librarians but important to share for all. Author Lisa Fipps (*Starfish*) is interested in coming to Maine Fall 2023. I am working to host her in Gorham at the middle school but wanted to invite other schools/libraries to consider hosting as well. We’d be able to split the travel costs and hopefully negotiate a reduced speaking rate. Her current rates are: FULL-DAY AUTHOR PROGRAM - $3,000 honorarium + travel fee (TBD) ● Includes three 45-to-60 minute presentations, including Q&A ● Optional lunch with a small group of students ● Optional book signing Please reach out to me with any questions and interest. Thanks!
