John is an energetic, exciting speaker who will be doing many readings, booksignings, events, and presentations for Loop Year at libraries, bookstores, schools, colleges, coffeehouses, and other venues. His events are appropriate for all ages. If you need directions to an event or if you'd like to book John for an event, please contact him at this e-mail address: jsheirer@acc.commnet.edu or (860) 253-3138.

John's speaking fee runs from a modest honorarium to cheese and crackers. He will generally speak for free at any location in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Outside of these two states, he will only ask for transportation costs. For land trusts and other environmental organizations in Massachusetts and Connecticut, John will speak for free and donate a portion of the proceeds from his book sales at your event to your organization.

Fundraising Opportunity for Land Trusts and Environmental Groups

Copies of Loop Year will be made available by the publisher, PublishingWorks, to any land trust or environmental organization in the country for $10 each. The books can then be sold at the cover price ($15.95), with the remaining $5.95 remaining directly with the organization. It works a lot like selling Girl Scout cookies, except with a really good book instead of Tagalongs. (To make this easier for the organization, the books can be ordered without prior payment. Unsold copies can then be returned to the publisher along with payment for sold copies.) To arrange for this fundraising opportunity, contact Carol Corbett at PublishingWorks at this e-mail address carol@publishingworks.com or by calling her at (800) 738-6603.
