Matt Phelan, Craftsbury Library

Visiting schools and libraries is one of my favorite things about my job. I love to get out of the studio and explain my process directly to my readers. I always learn something from a visit.


My typical school visit consists of up to three sessions (45 minutes - 1 hour) plus lunch with students and/or faculty and an optional book signing. Schools are responsible for ordering books in advance (usually from a local bookstore or the publisher).

The focus of all my talks, regardless of grade level, is a behind-the-scenes look at my creative process.

I can tailor my presentation to each grade level (K-8) using my picture books, graphic novels, or a combination of both. I have also visited high school and college art classes and spoken for adult audiences. Please let me know if there is a particular topic that you are interested in covering.

Library visits are generally shorter in length and that is reflected in the fee.

For more information about scheduling a visit and fees, please send me an email at matt@mattphelan.com.
