How I Calculate Event Pricing

As a public librarian, I know how tight funding is for schools and libraries. I calculate my rates based on the amount of time it takes me to prepare and present a program or talk, and while I keep my rates as affordable as possible, what my time is worth evolves with the cost of childcare. Talk to your PTA or Friends group and if you still have a budget issue, please reach out in the contact form. Hopefully, we can figure something out.

I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, so unless I’m already going to be in your region for another reason (conference, book tour, etc.), I also need to charge for travel fare, hotel, and travel time. To request that I make your town a stop on a book tour, reach out in the contact form! If enough people in your area are interested, I’d love to visit your school or library.
