Prerequisites:For the interactive show, i would ideally have a projector, laptop hookup, screen, and microphone. Not mandatory though. I love doing shows in coordination with booksfairs where I do my school visit and then do a signing after school at a bookfair. I can put you in touch with local bookstores that host booksfairs as they are a great fundraising tool for schools. Just this year, sales of Scary School through this program have raised over $10,000 for local schools. If a bookfair can't be worked out, it's good to coordinate with local bookstores so that kids can pre-order the books and we can do a signing after the show.
