Author Study was created as a way to virtually bring Kwame Alexander and other notable authors into classrooms, libraries, and community groups at an exclusive rate (including discounted registration for Title I schools and homeschoolers).

Classroom & Library General Registration: $375 for one or two for $650; Title I Classroom & Homeschoolers Registration: $250 for one or two for $400. Homeschool educators are welcome to team up with other homeschool families in your area (if possible) to join / view / participate as a group.

Registered attendees can pay online by credit card, debit, Paypal or Google Pay through the Eventbrite system. Pay by check and ACH options are also available - please complete this form and we'll be in touch regarding next steps: https://forms.gle/T9FcB9GnaWoLEDrj7

The login cannot be used on multiple devices concurrently. Each registration provides a single login that can be used from one device to broadcast/livestream to as many students as you'd like in a single location, whether that is within an individual classroom or through a larger assembly.

The single login can be used if your school or organization is set up internally to broadcast/livestream from one device into multiple classrooms.

In addition to our Two Registration Bundle outlined above, we also have group discount pricing for organizations interested in five or more registrations. Please contact authorstudy@kwamealexander.com for information.

Author Study will be hosted on Zoom Webinars. Note, the Zoom room will open 15 minutes prior to the event start time.

Once you’ve completed registration through Eventbrite, you will receive initial confirmations from both Eventbrite as well as Zoom Webinars, with information on how to login / join the event. You will also receive reminder emails leading up to the event, including one week and one day prior.

You are able to request a cancellation of your registration and obtain a refund through April 15th for this Author Study event. After April 15th, if an organization cancels their registration, their fee will be applied to a future Author Study event of their choice.

45 minutes.

Most Author Study events include a reading, book talk, craft talk, and live Q&A; however, please refer to the event listing for specifics and further details.

Our April 30th event is intended for grades 3 and up. Audience will always be noted in each Author Study listing, specific to that event.

While we are not asking for questions ahead of time, attendees are certainly welcome (and encouraged!) to have students prepare questions in advance, which can be submitted during the livestream via the Zoom Webinar chat.

Following the event, a curriculum worksheet recapping the mini-craft lesson will be provided via email to registered attendees.

We generally set aside 15 minutes for the live Q&A portion. Some questions require more detailed answers, but we will address as many as we can during this time frame.

Author Study is a virtual, interactive, LIVE, registered event; recordings of the livestream will not be available for future viewing. The event may not be recorded by participants due to copyright.
