Anyone else out there do author visits? What do you do? What grades do you visit?

Oooh, I'd be nervous too, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Being overly prepared is always my favorite method for keeping calm. :)
You'll do great :) let us know how it goes!
I've visited at both middle school and grade school...more from the writing perspective than I have a book appropriate for kids that age. It's not bad. The kids were interested and asked good questions. Let us know how it goes.
I have yet to participate in an author visit to a school. Well, unless you can't a reading program where I stopped by to read a children's story. Good luck!
Jessica, I do the same thing.. Totally over prepared..
Keri :)
Thanks, Trish! I will..
Keri :)
Thanks, Amy.. So true about the appropriate things.. Good angle.. I'll let you know..
Keri :)
Kelly,
What was that like??
Keri :)
Haven't been in your shoes yet, but I imagine I'd go with the over-prepared strategy, too. :D That, and trying to remember that kids love author visits (even if only because it gets them out of math). Good luck! I hope it's loads of fun.
I've never done one, but good luck! Please give us a recap.
Thanks Shari and Kwana! I'm all prepared ready to go.. Have a great weekend!!
Keri :)
I think in a lot of ways talking to kids is even harder than an adult audience. Um, not to make you MORE nervous or anything. *sheepish smile*
