Prerequisites: As a writer and artist for 30 years, I will assume I've been invited to visit your students to help them to see the rewards in pursuing their own writing and art. However, if the kids are unfamiliar with anything I’ve done, I’m really just some guy talking to them on a big TV screen. Therefore, it is important that they either have some of my books, or have read them prior to our visit.

"I was first introduced to the fun of Skype visits with a visit to a convalescent home where
my aunt volunteers. The back and forth it encouraged, the ability to share images as large as the
recipient’s screen, AND the convenience for all of us made me eager to explore this medium further. It is
my hope that upon signing off, the kids will be eager to get on with their own creative projects."
