What the author needs:
![Page 7: authorsandmore Carole Weitzel President Email: carole@authorsandmore 512 914-2596](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812dbb550346895d92f3a2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
$$$ Saving Ideas:
● Is there another school in your district which also wants to schedule the author the same week?
● Sometimes an author will discount their fee when they are booked for more than one school in the same week in the same area.
● Authors and More can help with booking authors for more than one day from surrounding districts thus saving costs for everyone.
