After making a booking you will be invoiced by Lateral Learning for the booking fee and sent details of the engagement which has been arranged. Contact details for the speaker will also be supplied if requested. Nearer the time there may be further communication to confirm that the detailed arrangements are in place, eg session times if an author or illustrator is visiting a school for a whole day. Payments to speakers are generally made on the day by personal cheque. If this presents a problem, then payment may be made via Lateral Learning.
Costs vary, depending on the speakers requested and the nature of the engagement.
However, if travel is involved, you will need to add travel expenses, accommodation and meals.
