Bruce was able to engage even our most challenging students with his humor and ability to offer them writing strategies they could easily access. Our staff watched in awe as the full range of our writers, from reluctant to passionate, jumped in and tried out his suggestions for creating a strong narrative.

Everyone has been raving about the visit and how beneficial and fruitful your visit has been. In a few words by some teachers in our school, “Best author visit ever!!! And I have seen quite a few.”

Our students and teachers can’t stop raving about your visit! It was engaging, entertaining, and highly informative, but most of all inspiring, as many of our students now want to become authors!

Bruce was able to engage, inspire, and captivate even our most reluctant readers. He shared entertaining stories about his journey to becoming an author and the power that the right book can have in changing your life.

I highly encourage anyone who is considering inviting Bruce Hale as a visiting author to do so! He was able to engage our preschool students up to our high school students, and our parents — sometimes with only ten minutes to adapt his presentation. Hosting an author can be stressful, but he is so easy to work with. I cannot recommend Bruce Hale highly enough!
Kate DavisLibrary DirectorAmerican International School of AbujaAbuja, Nigeria
Thank you for the wonderful presentation yesterday. In addition to being entertaining, I appreciate the focus on some important character traits, especially persistence. This is right in line with our belief in a growth mindset and that “effort grows ability”.
