EVENTS
With experience as both an author and children’s bookseller, I’m happy to tailor my experience as an autistic author in a presentation showing a behind-the-scenes look at becoming an author.
My presentations are best suited for grades 3 - 6. My presentations can include a Q&A, discussion on my writing and publishing process, my journey to my autism diagnosis, or my experience as a children’s publishing professional.

TESTIMONIALS
“Calyssa was a dream to have visit our library! She read from her book, answered audience questions and was happy to share her personal writing process and experience. We couldn't have enjoyed having her more and look forward to reading whatever she writes next!”
—Shannon O’Connor, Clinton Public Library
“Calyssa’s Q&A video was an inspiring and engaging experience for our Grade 6 students. Her warm and approachable attitude made the session really enjoyable and her passion for her characters and storytelling is very communicative. Calyssa’s insights into the writing process and her journey to becoming a writer have encouraged our learners to explore their own creativity with confidence. They loved the experience!”
—Amanda Casleton, Head of English, ICS Paris International School
