6 Backers

All of the above, plus I'll either print out a poem of your choice from my blog, sign it to you, and mail it on (it'll be suitable for framing, I tell ya!), OR I'll send you 6 postcards during the year, each with a different poem. It's old school... and who knows how long it'll even be possible! (Please add $5.00 for shipping outside the U.S. and Canada)

Pledge $75 or more Pledge $75 or more

5 Backers • Limited Reward (7 of 12 remaining)

Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more

19 Backers

All the above (your choice on the printed poem or post cards) PLUS you get to sponsor a class visit. This can mean you have a specific class in mind and we arrange the visit OR you get featured and acknowledged as the sponsor of a visit I do (in the Collection and on the blog, too).

1 Backer • Limited Reward (3 of 4 remaining)

All of the above items, plus we'll do some one-on-one poetry work. I'll critique up to 10 pages of poetry... talk/Skype with you to go over my notes and discuss in more detail... then do it all again when you've revised.

Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more

3 Backers • Limited Reward (2 of 5 remaining)

All of the above items, plus I'll write a poem just for you. The poem can be for an event (a birth, someone's birthday, a wedding, etc.) in which case we'll chat so I have the right information to make it personal and fitting. Or the poem can be written just because you want one.

Pledge $2,000 or more Pledge $2,000 or more

0 Backers

Tour Sponsor! You can pick a topic for me, specify a school, get the collection and framable poem and postcards, plus you'll be included in the collection's dedication (with a link to your own website, assuming it is child-okay) and be prominently featured in any material related to this project. Also, I'll send you signed copies of any books of mine published in the next five years. And when we meet, coffee's on me!

Has not connected their Facebook account.

I'm a poet, novelist, screenwriter, volunteer elementary school librarian, social media consultant, and blogger currently working on my novel, the 14 Fabulous Fibs of Gregory K., which will be published by Arthur A. Levine Books (an imprint of Scholastic). My poems are all over the place, from the internet to textbooks to Ballonstof, the hot air ballooning magazine of the Netherlands. I bat and throw righty.
