Illusions (visits)

Lesa loves sharing her writing journey with children and adults alike. She especially likes demystifying the writing process. Sharing her personal experiences, Lesa talks about the life of a book from its conception to its completion. She also teaches her students what a manuscript looks like, discusses research, editing, where ideas come from, and what to do if you get stuck! Further, she strives to leave them inspired to write by encouraging and helping them write in class.

If you would like to have Lesa do an author visit or a creative writing workshop, her prices are listed below. Or you may contact her at  lesaboutin@gmail.com.

One day visit $300, half day $200. Anything over sixty miles would require travel expenses. Any size class is acceptable provided there is adult supervision.

As a writer with Writers In The Schools, Lesa teaches creative writing to elementary and middle school students. If you are interested in having Lesa in your school for a residency please contact the WITS office at 713-523-3877 or email at mail@witshouston.org.
