Author and Illustrator Visits for Schools, Libraries, and Literary Events

An agency devoted to bringing award-winning children’s authors and illustrators to you through school and library visits, conferences and festivals, and special events.

Representation & Respect

The Booking Biz supports an inclusive cast of creatives whose books serve as both windows and mirrors.

We continue to seek education and expand our understanding, today and every day, when it comes to creating positive change for children and children’s books creators.
