“Rosie is the real deal that will motivate your students to start writing their stories and read more."

Dr. R. Badía, Franklin MS, Dallas, TX

Your Students Want More Than a
​Book Reading

​Rosie engages students during a 45-minute writing workshop developed specifically for their grade level. Each workshop is interactive and empowers students to unleash their creativity and grow in confidence through reading, writing, and creating.

Workshop Topics Include:

​The Making of a Story | From idea to first draft: how is a story born? Practical advice, fun exercises, and interactive games for the budding writer.

Revisions | How important is revision? Tips and tools on improving your stories—what’s in your writer’s toolbox?

Research | How about research? Where, what, and why?

Perseverance | Persistence and overcoming obstacles. Did you know...? Get inspired and encouraged!
Insight into Publishing | How does publishing work? The process of producing a book: collaborating with an illustrator, working with an editor, timeline, and more—behind the scenes of a book’s journey!
​
U R a Star! | A ceremony to encourage young students to believe in themselves as they pursue their goals and dreams!

​What are the benefits of an author visit?

  • ​Ignite a spark, confidence, and courage in future artists and writers.
  • Prompt imagination and creativity to read, write and revise.
  • Encourage reluctant readers to embrace books and stories.
  • Support curriculum while expanding their knowledge on the craft of writing.
  • Acquire the mindset to overcome roadblocks and not give up in the face of rejection; through inspiration from Rosie’s personal story of perserverance.

We look forward to her visiting our school in person next year!"
-Mrs. L. Moore, Glenoaks Elementary Librarian

"Rosie was fun, engaging, and educational! Her presentations were geared toward each particular grade level, providing insightful lessons on kindness, the writing process, and the use of literary devices. She kept our students engaged and teachers were raving about the visit afterward. We loved having her and would definitely invite her to visit again!" -Ms. Hackett (Librarian, Las Lomas)

​"We were honored to have Rosie Pova visit our school for an author's visit. The first graders were captured from the first minute of the presentation by holding their attention with props, interesting storylines, audience participation, and fun activities... Her heartwarming tale of motherly love, If I Weren't With You, generated higher-level thinking skills of what it would be like to be separated from your mother. It showed the strong bond between Mother Bear and Baby Bear. I would highly recommend Rosie Pova for an author's visit your students will love."
-Mrs. Kent, Blanton Elementary, Carrollton



​"Our PTA was so excited to have Rosie Pova visit Hickey Elementary. She was bubbly, upbeat and really encouraged our kids to try writing. My favorite part was listening to the kids create a story with her. Our goal was to give the students an opportunity to meet a real-life author and she was the perfect choice!"

​She's amazing. <3"
-Ms. Kang, Librarian at Hickey Elementary

"Rosie J. Pova gave a great presentation about the writing process, tools writers use to make good stories, and the perseverance needed to become a published author. My students walked away with ideas of how to use literary devices to enhance their own writing in the classroom and at home."
​-Ms. Arnold, Librarian 
Mitchell Elementary (2022)

“She was energetic and so fun!”

“I would definitely recommend Rosie J. Pova for an upcoming author visit. She is super friendly and engaging. The students responded well to her and were eager to ask and answer questions. Even our younger students were attentive and enjoyed learning from Ms. Pova.”
 
"Rosie has a sweet and inviting voice. Her presentations are kid friendly while still giving plenty of information for the kids to learn about. The slideshow was very helpful for the kids to visualize themselves as authors and illustrators. Rosie engaged students appropriately by asking questions and having students respond with body movements, a quick and easy game with the whole group, and allowing a few questions at the end."
 
"Great job, Rosie! The kids loved your interesting presentation."

"She was personable and engaging with the students. The younger grades loved the silly dance."
