Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers to common questions about booking Diane for your venue.
01.
What age groups are the presentations for?
Presentations are fully customized. The Marshall series is ideal for early to upper elementary students, while devotional talks are tailored for adult groups.
02.
Do you offer bulk book discounts for schools?
Yes! Organizations that book an in-person visit receive exclusive pricing on bulk orders so every attendee can take a book home.
03.
How far do you travel for events?
Diane is based in Wathena, Kansas, and frequently travels throughout the Midwest. For events further away, travel accommodations can be discussed, or a Virtual Visit is a great alternative!
04.
Do we need to provide AV equipment?
For larger assemblies, a microphone and a screen/projector (if using visual aids) are helpful. Diane will coordinate specific technical needs with your event planner prior to arrival.
05.
Can parents get involved during school visits?
Absolutely. Diane loves when parents attend. Schools often tie author visits to evening PTA events or family reading nights!
