Presentations
Meyer's presentations cover how a book comes into existence from the
search for an idea; through the writing, revisions, layout, finished
art and printing, using his books as examples. He shares with the students
his love of reading, writing, and drawing, and he encourages questions
and discussion throughout. The sessions end with Meyer at an easel drawing
art that students request. He signs the drawings and leaves them with
the class as a souvenir of his visit.
Honorarium
Classroom and library presentations- $150 for one session, $500 for
a full day, plus travel expenses outside of Chicago metro area.
