Author Visit from John Madormo
If you would like John Madormo to visit your school, please contact him to coordinate an author visit. John would be more than happy to speak to students about his journey as an author.
What to Expect
During an author visit, John will talk about how he created The Abilene Kid book series and how he comes up with adventures for the main character to solve. He’ll tell the students about his early days as a screenwriter and how that led to this middle-grade Western book series. John will even test the students’ knowledge of famous lawmen from the 1800s. Each author visit concludes with a Q&A session.
Note: There is no charge for a one-hour in-person Meet and Greet with the author. However, additional presentations are billed at $150 per hour.
