Lots of Author Visits in March

Lots of Author Visits coming up for the month of March. March 1st I'll be at Fink Elementary in Middletown PA, March 2nd at Monroe Elementary in Boiling Springs PA, March 4th at Ironton Elementary in Coplay PA, March 9th at Croman Elementary in Troy PA, March 29th at Concord Elementary in Glen Mills PA, and to top it all off March 30th I'll be speaking at KSU's Annual Conference on Literature for Children and Young Adults at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw GA. A fun and busy month ahead!

Author visits galore!

Every time I do an author visit I make new friends. Most of the time I make friends with kids and teachers, but recently I visited East Hanover Elementary as part of a district wide visit, and I made a new friend who wasn't even human. Perhaps I should have said that I had a new friend made for me? A really cool full size robot based on my book “The Robobots.” My overall experience at Lower Dauphin was really great. I was able to visit my brother in law’s school. He’s the principal at Nye Elementary. I also visited South Hanover, Conewago, and Londonderry Elementary Schools. The librarians and teachers did a great job preparing the kids for the visits. Great questions, even from the littlest ones, and they all seemed excited to learn a little bit about how books are created, from idea to completion. Fun! Fun! Fun!

RECENT AUTHOR VISITS

Had a great time this past week visiting all the kids and teachers in the Lower Dauphin School District. Even got to spend some time with my brother in law (and elementary school principal) Mr. Doug Winner at his school, Nye Elementary in Hummelstown. Will be wrapping up my visits to that district Wednesday Nov 10th at East Hanover Elementary.

Updated Website!

At long last I have updated my website to reflect my most current books. Not really a big change by any means but long overdue. Phew! www.mattnovak.com
