Invite Mark Edward Geyer for a school visit and bring the world of book illustration right into the classroom.

Topics Discussed:
- The role of an illustrator in the making of a book.
- How an illustrator works with the editor, the author, and the art director.
- The importance of research, especially when illustrating “period” novels that take place a long time ago.
- How illustrators and authors utilize and draw upon their educational background.
- How illustrating fiction differs from illustrating non-fiction: how illustrating The Inquisitor Apprentice series and The Shakespeare Mysteries differs from illustrating Who Was Ulysses S. Grant?
- How an illustrator "stages" the characters in an illustration.
- Artistic inspiration.
- Learning to rely on instinct. Here I am (on the right) with author Deron R. Hicks at a Barnes and Noble book signing after a day spent with students of Brookstone School in Columbus, Georgia.
