Schedule J.M. Kelly for Your Next School or Club Event
Are you looking for ways to get your middle school students excited about reading and writing?
Host a visit from author J.M. Kelly!
Kelly is not only the author of two middle school books, he was also a middle school teacher, assistant principal, and principal, making him uniquely qualified to engage students as only someone with middle-school experience can.
Author Visit Options
Books can be ordered in advance and read by students before the visit, and they can prepare questions for J.M. as part of their classroom assignments. They will have the opportunity to have their books signed by the author.
Or, books can be ordered to arrive in time to be signed during the visit. J.M. can read excerpts and students can ask questions about the writing process and being an author, then read the book after the visit.
Potential topics include:
- The books in the Bobby Holmes middle school mystery/thriller series
- The various aspects of writing a book, including plot, characters, setting, and theme
- The importance of writing and telling your own story
- Perseverance and following your dreams
Whether you want to do a grade-level assembly, a single classroom visit, or even an after-school reading club experience, J.M. will entertain and inform your students.
