Hello, I am a sophomore at The College of New Jersey and am in a class called Writing Communities. Through this class we bring published authors to speak on campus to help promote a greater literary community. I am simply wondering if you tour and how much you charge to give a reading. I am compiling a list of authors who we would like to see come to campus, and I am gathering as much information as possible for my proposal. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Aaron Pinkard
