Author Visit Reviews
“Jennifer is a wonderful Storyteller and inspirational speaker. Students are often excited to right after meeting her chatting with her and listening to her. She relates well with kids one-on-one and understand students of all types of backgrounds. She treats the students with respect while she commands a room of two hundred, twenty or two students.”
Charlie Gifford Cahill
7th and 8th grade history teacher, Guilderland, NY
“Jennifer is an accomplished writer of children’s literature. As such she has a good understanding of the writing process and placing personal voice into a written piece. Jennifer can effectively translate what she learned about writing to others. Her Skype visit was totally engaging and fully held the attention of the students. She also has a solid understanding of the needs of children with special needs and how to work with these children appropriately and effectively.”

“We have had Jennifer back many times as a visiting author. She gives presentations and author lunches that make the students enthusiastic about writing.”

“Jennifer Roy visited our school and gave four well-received presentations to 7th graders. She spoke with compassion about how the idea for writing Mindblind originated and clearly defined Asperger syndrome. She achieved high marks from the students and teachers. She is friendly, accessible and a pleasure to work with.”

“Yours is the best presentation I have seen in 40 Years of teaching. I’m not kidding.”
