Texas Author Visit& the Rio Grande Valley
Campuses & Districts

Bring an author to your campus.

Librarians, reading coaches and principals across Hidalgo, Cameron, Willacy and Starr counties use Texas Author Visit to plan author days their students talk about all year — in English, in Spanish, or both.

Made for how campuses work

Plan it, pay for it, and get on with your week

01

Texas authors only

Every author here lives in Texas and is personally approved by our team before they can be booked.

02

Purchase orders welcome

Pay by card, or send your campus or district PO. We invoice on Net 30 and accept checks.

03

Your money stays safe

We hold the payment until the visit has happened, so nothing is lost if plans change on the author's side.

04

Bring in a whole grade

Assemblies, classroom rotations or a library day — authors list exactly what each visit includes.

05

Books at campus prices

Buy signed copies for classrooms and libraries; larger orders are discounted automatically.

06

Hear back quickly

Authors agree to answer campus requests within 48 hours.

From first idea to author day

1Pick an author — or ask

Look through Texas authors, or describe your day and let authors come to you with ideas.

2Settle the details

Message the author about grades, timing and travel, then choose an open date.

3Confirm with card or PO

Your booking is confirmed once paid or once your PO is approved.

4Welcome them on campus

After the visit, let us know it went well and share a short review for other campuses.
