Author Visits
Book signings, author visits & special projects

My normal speaking fee varies depending on whether or not the venue is within five hours' drive of my home. If it is, my speaking fee is $300 plus travel expenses for a one-day visit, or $500 plus travel expenses for a two-day visit. If the venue is further than five hours' drive, I charge $500 plus travel expenses for a one-day visit, or $750 plus travel expenses for a two-day visit. Beyond that, I charge $250 plus travel expenses for each additional day.

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 at claredunkle.com (my email name is clare).

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.
