Ron, Mildred Taylor is an eloquent speaker. She speaks at public events very infrequently. However, I encourage you to extend your invitation to her and allow her or her representative at Dial Books for Young Readers to reply. The best way to contact her and the other speakers to whom you referred is by contacting Elena Rockman at Dial (212/366(00). Ask for Elena Rockman.

Kyoko Mori is on the St. Norbert College faculty in DePere, Wisconsin. Because you are from Wisconsin and she lives here, too, I think you could contact her directly; she will tell you if she prefers to make arrangements for appearances directly or through one of her publishers. You might find it more efficient all the way around to extend your invitation through her hardcover or paperback publisher. These phone numbers can be found in Literary Market Place or Children's Books in Print, or in the Children's Book Council Members List (phone 212/96690 to get an up-to?te copy). Publishers prefer to receive invitations for author appearances; they can assist you in many ways and are very helpful. Good luck on getting a speaker. Ginny
