SEINA WEDLICK enjoys author visits and has participated in several school visits, library/bookstore events, and literary festivals.
She enjoys meeting young readers and is available for in-person and virtual visits. She can also customize presentations best suited for the K-3 audience.
A sample school presentation will cover the concept of how a picture book is created from an idea to a finished product. Seina will go over how she came up with the idea for one of her books and share her writing process and more.
