Honoring Black Voices

“Book an Author completely transformed the way I schedule author visits—what used to take me four months of back-and-forth now takes just a few hours. The platform made it incredibly easy to discover, compare, and book the perfect author in one place, saving me countless hours of research and coordination!”

“Thank you again, Book an Author team! We got a lot of positive reviews from the classrooms! We look forward to book read-alouds with Book an Author again.”

“Through Book an Author, I was connected with a corporate audience looking for a speaker on joy— the central theme of my children’s books. The platform made it easy to tailor my presentation to their needs, allowing me to create a meaningful and engaging session that resonated beyond the pages of my stories.”

“I had used many platforms in the past to fundraise, but nothing compared to the ease of using Book an Author. In a short period of time, I was able to showcase my new books and plush to new audiences and meet my preorder campaign goals ahead of schedule. Book an Author streamlined the entire process, making it effortless to fundraise, promote my book, and secure author visit opportunities—all in one place.”

I’ve booked two author visits through Book an Author—one in Maryland and another in New Jersey—expanding my reach beyond my hometown and immediate network. The platform makes it easy to connect with new audiences and share my work with readers everywhere.

“Booking a virtual author visit through Book an Author was an incredible experience for our daycare!

It made the session interactive, exciting, and truly memorable for our little learners!”

“Book an Author made it so easy to find the perfect author for our company’s Family Day! The author captivated both kids and parents with an engaging, interactive session. The entire booking process was seamless, and the experience was a huge hit with our employees and their families!”

“Our PTA is always looking for engaging ways to connect families and enrich our students’ learning experiences, and Book an Author made it so easy to find the perfect author for our K-8 gifted and talented program. We love working with authors who share our vision, and the seamless booking process allowed us to coordinate the event effortlessly. Plus, having all our past bookings in one account makes planning future events even simpler!”

“Book an Author is an excellent resource for both schools and authors. The Book an Author team is eager to provide support, helping authors brainstorm new ways to bring expertise and resources into local communities. It opens up so many opportunities. I was able to get a local business to sponsor my school visit program. Win-win for both the local business, schools, and for me as the publisher.”

“Book an Author has been a game-changer for my author visits. They handle all the contract paperwork, allowing me to focus on engaging with readers and writing new books. Before using the platform, it took me 60 days to receive payment from schools—now, I get paid on time, with the added security of guaranteed payment for last-minute cancellations. I finally feel like I have a support system in the publishing industry!”

“I wanted to tell you how much my students (AND STAFF that were present) LOVED our virtual author visit! I saw that Carol was the author […] and I immediately reached out to the third grade teachers! We really enjoyed her reading the story because she really took her time and gave us so much more information about the story and the illustrations. It felt very personal.”
