Booking a workshop or event
Buying Books
Book sales are wonderful and mean that children (or adults) have something tangible to remind them of the events or workshops they have attended with an author. That book can be inspiring for them long after they've forgotten the workshops themselves.
However, while every author hopes that they will have some book sales at their events, the amount the author receives from each sale means that book sales alone rarely compensate for the preparation time, travel and workshop/event time. So (unless their publisher is paying them to do events) most authors need to charge a fee.
Fees
Because book sales rarely make enough to cover the work, (and PR opportunities don't pay the electricity bills!)
I usually charge €350 per day plus travel costs (though I'm open to discussion depending on the occasion).
Please understand that €350 per day does not mean €50 for an hour especially if it entails long-distance travel.
The preparation for one session is often the same for multiple sessions on the same day. That said, I'm always happy to discuss my fee depending on the particular event.
