To schedule a visit to your school or group, please submit your request by e-mail to cotteson@cableone.net or telephone 208-523-4777, with the desired date, time, presentation topic, school or other location, contact person, and any other applicable information.
Presentations are geared toward the needs of the audience and include elementary through intermediate levels, high school, and adult groups. According to request, sessions can be centered on read-aloud or writing activities, PowerPoint, or a discussion of Idaho history, pioneers, or my experiences writing books and getting publishing.
For a Visit to Your School:
Get everyone excited. To help the students get the most out of my presentation,
introduce them to George Brunt: Young Pioneer of Eagle Rock during class
a few days before my visit. You might use one or two activities from the teacher’s supplement to
create interest. (Order supplement here for $15.)
Also remember to have two or three copies of George Brunt: Young Pioneer of Eagle Rock,
Laura’s Lullaby, or Unsung Heroes and Settlers of Bonneville County, Idaho
in your school library for those who would like access to a copy.
Ordering Books: You can order any number of books directly from me. I will discount the various prices of $14.95-12.95 down to $10.00 for any book purchased by your school, students, teachers, or group members in conjunction with my visit. I can deliver in advance, or will bring copies to the appearance.
Book signings: I'm happy to do book signings after my presentation.
Appearance Fees: Inside Idaho: $25 plus expenses. I also do some local appearances as a public service. Outside Idaho: $75 plus transportation, room, and meal expenses.
