Your Group
Schedule Ruth for: A visit to your group
Ruth loves to read from A Watch in the Night, to talk about what went into writing it, and to discuss the unique life that her grandparents, mother, aunts and uncles lived. Whether you have a group of students, or simply a group of book lovers, you can arrange to have a reading and even a signing event at your location in Southern Ontario.
Ruth will be happy to visit your Southern Ontario book club, library or community group to read from A Watch in the Night. She enjoys dramatizing excerpts from the book, talking about the process of writing, and about the members of her family whose lives inspired it. These visits can be entertaining for the whole family.
If your group has a projection screen and an LCD projector, Ruth will bring her slide show of photos from the book. If there is a sound system, she will accompany her talk with a CD of Maritime music.
If you wish, Ruth can arrange to bring books for a special signing event. The suggested retail price of A Watch in the Night is $19.95 CDN.
Like most Canadian authors, Ruth receives very little income from the book, so a fee for her visit is desired. Ruth’s main aim, though, is to share the A Watch in the Night with as many people as possible. She will be happy to talk with you about how to make a special visit happen.
The Canada Council offers funding to groups wishing to host author readings. Click here to find out how your group can apply.
