Author and Illustrator Visits for Schools, Libraries, and Literary Events

An agency devoted to bringing award-winning children’s authors and illustrators to you through school and library visits, conferences and festivals, and special events.

It is our goal to make your events spectacular. To take the hassle out of the event planning. To create an environment where authors and illustrators do what they do best, inspire.

“If you touch the heart with one book, it can transform a life.” — Allan Bloom, American Philosopher

Representation & Respect

The Booking Biz supports an inclusive cast of creatives whose books serve as both windows and mirrors. We do so with the deep belief that every child needs to see reflections of their specific and often intersection identities as well as experience identities outside their own.  We strive to represent events in this same fashion working with organizers to support inclusivity and representation. Stories help us to heal, to be seen, to understand and to be understood, to stand up, to empathize, to learn and to grow.

The Booking Biz is working with many partners, organizations, and authors/illustrators that speak to the dynamic, inclusive, and diverse world we live in. We continue to seek education and expand our understanding, today and every day, when it comes to creating positive change for children and children’s books creators.
