Author Visits


Author Visits

Author visits in the classroom can tie the magic of reading a book to the excitement of creating it. Children get to see who is behind the characters or those unique facts they’ve never heard before. Introducing an author to your students will leave an impression on the children for years to come.  



Schedule an Author Visit

With each visit, whether virtual or in person, Jennifer Gladen will bring her characters to life with a reading from her novel by showing how the theme of digital distraction can play a roll in their lives.

Here's what some people had to say:


I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Gladen on two occasions.  Jennifer had presented at a school in which I taught at as part of our Career Day.  She read her book Theresa’s Shadow to an auditorium packed with kids as her pictures played across the screen.  The children then asked her questions about what it was like to be an author.  They were excited and motivated to not only meet an author but hear her wonderful story and listen to what she had to say.  She was enthusiastic and excited to share her work with all of the students.  The event was a huge success!

The second occasion was a conference at a local university in which literacy was the main focus.  Jennifer gladly accepted the offer to present and share her wonderful gifts and talents with all who attended.  Another successful event, in part because Jennifer was there to help spread the word of how important literacy and reading is for children.  Thank you Jennifer!
