Please see below for how to reach out to our past and present Willow Award nominee authors to schedule author visits for your school! We have compiled this list to make it easier for your schools to set up visits with these wonderful Canadian authors. If you’re an author who’s been nominated and want to be added to this list, please let us know through our Contact Us page and we’ll be happy to add your name and contact information.
We do not set up author visits or handle payment, make sure you consult with your school administration about what works best for your school’s time and budget.
