Dear Writing Project Teachers,

          My thanks to those of you who have expressed interest in having me as a visiting author in your school.

          I know times are tough, and to ease that as much as I can I’ve decided to let my fee include expenses other that air travel.  This means if you book me through visitingauthors.com, you will pay nothing more for mileage, food, and lodging.  This lowers your cost and also simplifies the process.

          I hope this will make it more feasible for us to continue working together.

          For more information about the kinds of programs I do, go to georgeellalyon.com.  I’m also happy to tailor my presentation to specific issues you would like to focus on.

All best wishes for a great year!  And don’t forget those journals . . .

George Ella
