I am a fantasy author and licensed teacher and love to do events at schools, and other community meetings. I offer a variety of presentations or can create a new presentation to fit your group’s needs. Here are some details you might find helpful. I love to speak at career fairs, school assemblies, and give workshops at conferences. I am also available for virtual classroom visits.
Rate: I suggest a donation of $100/day, though this is negotiable, especially if you are requesting multiple days. Having been an educator, I know how short many school budgets can be, and I do not money to be the reason that you do not invite me. Any donations will be used to support my writing.
Please let me know if you would like me to bring copies of my books to be available for purchase. I can sign books and make them available for a steep discount off of the cover price. Advance orders are appreciated.
Testimonials:
What a wonderful experience we had with Michael Young at Roy Elementary. Over a two-day period, he presented Six Traits in every classroom. The students loved him
and the teachers felt it was a very positive experience. He inspired our
students to become authors.

We had Michael Young come and speak at our school in April of 2010 and just loved his
presentation and his wonderful ability to talk and converse with the students. He has a
great PowerPoint presentation that helps to understand how he came to be an
author and the important points of writing. I have since used these points as I talk about other authors and books to the kids.
The students had lots of great questions for Mr. Young and responded well to his
answers with great enthusiasm. We had him come to the 3rd through the 6th grade classes. They came into the Library one grade at a time which helped make his presentation more personal for each age group. His book the Canticle Kingdom, is flying off the shelf. It is very well written and the students seem very pleased by the content. I recommend that if you can bring Mr. Young to your school and or library please do it. You will not be disappointed but greatly impressed.

Mr. Young came to speak in my classes on May 6, 2010. He was well prepared for all
of my classes, even though he had to have several different presentations.
He talked about revision with my Creative Writing classes, and was dynamic and
elicited participation even from reluctant students. He had them laughing
and enjoying themselves, yet they were learning the whole time. My German
students loved his presentation about Germany’s influence on us, and were
talking about it for days afterward. He was professional, fun, and worked
well with the students. I highly recommend Mr. Young as a guest
speaker–he will help motivate and energize your students!
