School Visits
“I can’t remember an author who so quickly connected with kids (and held them spellbound for 30 minutes!). Your presentation was so thoughtful and meaningful. My students thought you were ‘awesome’.”
--Marcia Bernard, School Librarian, The Bement School, Deerfield, MA "McCall visited with our third, fourth, and fifth graders, and it was an absolutely AMAZING author visit! The kids were so excited to meet her, and she shared with them some awesome insights on how each and every one of them had a writer inside of them, her process on how she got the idea for several of her wonderful dog books, and answered as many student questions as she could to give them a one-on-one experience to learn from a real-life author. She truly made a connection with the students, really drawing them in as she talked with them, and every student and teacher left having had a truly awesome experience. Definitely a positive experience, and one I would definitely recommend as a wonderful author visit!" Amanda Scott, School Librarian, Tinker Elementary School, Oklahoma City, OK |
“Extraordinary experience! We loved having McCall Hoyle visit with our students for the grand finale of our Stella novel study. The kids were enthusiastically engaged with her interactive and inspirational presentation. They left excited about reading and ready to start writing their own stories!
--Tiffanie Hitchcock, Media Specialist, Roberts Elementary School, Suwanee, GA "A school author visit from McCall Hoyle is an engaging and inspiring experience for students. As the author of award-winning young adult and middle-grade novels, McCall connects with young readers through relatable stories and practical insights into her writing process. Her presentations cover the journey behind her books and offer students valuable tips on reading, writing, and storytelling. McCall's approachable style and thoughtful discussions about resilience and friendship make her visits both enjoyable and meaningful for students and educators. It's a great way to inspire a love of reading and writing in your school!" Terri Harkey, Media Specialist, Furr Elementary McKinney, TX |
