Spotlight Author Visits (SAV) bring SAL speakers to local K-12 public schools for free, one-time visits. Visits can take place in small, intimate classroom settings or in large auditoriums. SAV are usually 45 minutes long and include some combination of a brief reading, a talk on the writer’s life in reading and writing, a mini-workshop, and/or a Q&A. SAV often have a powerful impact on students and provide a valuable window into the life of a professional writer.
