ABOUT THE BOOK
PRESENTATIONS Presentations align with the following
Illinois State Standards: Do you know. . . For library or small-group visits, Scotti typically requests a small honorarium and/or travel expenses as payment for her presentation.
SCHOOL VISITS I charge $400 for a full day (up to 4 presentations), plus travel expenses for travel to locations outside my local area. Adjustments can be made for shorter visits.

I am not set up to supply and sell books.
If cost is a concern, many companies support education by providing grants that may be used toward author visits. The Community Foundation, Intel Corp.:

From the building of the first permanent settlement on the site of
present-day Chicago in 1779 to Oprah Winfrey’s television debut
in 1984,
It Happened in Chicago tells the stories of intriguing people and
events from the history of the Windy City.
Find out how the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair turned out to be a glorious emblem of late-nineteenth-century American progress, despite predictions by some New Yorkers that it would be little more than a “cattle show.” 
* Which Chicago incident was dramatized in a motion picture starring James Stewart?
-- and turned his outhouse into a Temple of Justice?
