PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR THE 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR AND DO NOT YET KNOW WHEN I WILL RETURN. THEREFORE, I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT AUTHOR VISIT APPOINTMENTS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. IN THE MEANTIME, IF YOU'D LIKE TO KEEP UP WITH MY ADVENTURES, FEEL FREE TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY BLOG.
My normal speaking fee is $500 plus travel expenses for a one-day visit, or $800 plus travel expenses for a two-day visit. Beyond that, I charge $300 plus travel expenses for each additional day.
My travel expenses consist of a per-mile charge of thirty cents a mile if I drive to your venue or the cost of the airplane tickets if I fly to your venue. They also include a $25-a-day charge for meals. If I have to stay in a hotel, I pass on that hotel cost to you.
Extrovert that I am, I'm happy to hold as many engagements as you and your neighboring libraries/schools can arrange. A two-day visit gives me enough time to host a fiction-writing workshop if I can meet with the same classes both days.
I can accept only two visit requests per month. If you would like to request a visit during an available month, please check the schedule below to see if your desired month is available. Then click on the Contact the Author button at the right or email me: claredunkle at gmail.com.
When you contact me, please suggest the days that will work best for you; my writing work is more fluid than your curriculum, so chances are good that I will be able to work with your date.
