Honorariums Honorariums vary for each author and can be discussed with the Author Appearance Coordinator. The publisher will send you a confirmation letter spelling out the terms of your agreement, including the honorarium, date of visit, and other details. These arrangements must be made at least one month prior to the visit. Before setting the author's travel plans, ask about his or her personal requirements. Leave no stone unturned.
All authors vary in their presenting styles.
Some use a slide projector, a microphone, or an overhead projector. Some prefer to make their presentations in small, informal settings, rather than large auditoriums. That's why it's best to ask the author well in advance how he or she would like the day's events to be organized. How to get organized for the event Prepare Students Visiting authors agree that the most important way to ensure a successful author visit is to make sure the students have read the author's books. Be prepared by having the school librarian order multiple copies of the author s books.
