Author Study is an innovative, multimedia literacy initiative created by Kwame Alexander, #1 New York Times best-selling, Newbery medal-winning author of The Crossover, The Door of No Return, Becoming Muhammed Ali, Rebound, The Undefeated, and more.

Since 2010, Kwame has visited more than two thousand schools around the globe. Why? Because Kwame LOVES sharing his joy for writing and reading with students and educators! Yet he still wants to reach more kids. Author Study allows him to do that...in an easy, affordable way.

This virtual webinar series brings Kwame Alexander and other notable authors into classrooms, libraries, homes, and community groups with live events throughout the year – for a reasonable price (including discounted registration for Title I schools and homeschoolers).

Every Author Study event includes a 45-minute virtual livestream session in which Kwame...

• Celebrates the joy and power of words

• Reads aloud from one of his beloved books

• Teaches a brief writing craft lesson - emailed to registrants after the program

• Talks with a special guest author (sometimes two!), and

• Gives a live Q&A session about his own writing - taking select questions from attendees in the chat.

Author Study events include an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, too.

Help energize your students’ love of reading and writing! Author Study provides a fun, affordable, literary experience that they’ll never forget.

And it serves as a direct extension of Kwame’s mission:

To change the world, one word at a time.

Register today because spots are limited in order to keep these events as interactive as possible.
