Authors’ Booking
Service is pleased
to announce that children’s author LM
Falcone is now scheduling
visits to Ontario schools for the coming school year. Her rates are
as follows:
One session: $300
Two sessions: $500
Three sessions: $700
Plus standard
kilometrage.
Lucy is a former
teacher, private
investigator and television writer (for such series as CTV's The
Littlest Hobo, CBS's The New Monkees! and Nickleodeon's hugely
popular Are You afraid of the Dark?) Currently, she writes spooky
novels for young readers.
Here's what teacher
Lilian Birt of St.
Ambrose School in Etobicoke has to say about Lucy:
"I
was on playground duty at
recess … and I have to tell you what I saw. There were clutches of
kids standing with their backs on the portables … and they were
reading your books! It was wonderful to see! I remember doing the
same thing with favourite books when I was a kid, but I’ve NEVER
seen the kids at this school take out a story or chapter book to read
like that before!
LM Falcone is a member
of The Writers'
Union of Canada, and so schools wishing to invite her may be eligible
for a travel and fee subsidy to off-set the cost of her visit.

Falcone's Presentation Details
Four hot spooky books
and a hit
television series all get discussed and dissected in this
fast-moving, interactive presentation. As a former television writer
and now an author, I use videos, novels and picture books to cover
the many areas of writing. Some of these include Handy
Tips/Research/Brainstorming/Editing and Publishing. I also read from
my novels and talk about the importance of inspiration and
imagination. My presentation runs one and a half hours.
