Skyping with Authors Lots of authors will Skype with school groups relatively cheaply. Even the most expensive are only $300/hour. A typical author visit might cost thousands, even before the school pays for travel expenses.

Places to find authors who Skype: [] - Skype an Author Network [] - Authors who Skype for free [] - author Steven Krasner's website. Mr. Krasner will Skype for an hour or he will conduct multi-session writing units with classes.
