Recently I asked a more experienced author her opinion on why book orders do or don’t happen related to school author visits. Truth is, I’ve had great book orders and no book orders following my visits.

That initial question led to a discussion of charging for author visits. You see, I offer my visits for free. This author, and most others in my experience, offer larger-scale visits for a price. From her perspective (and she’s not alone, I’ve heard these points before):

1. Schools may not take you seriously if you don’t charge a fee. Paying for an author visit leads the school to ramp up the excitement around the visit and promote the author’s books.
2. Your time is worth something. You should be compensated.
3. You’ll earn more respect if you charge.
