Testimonials
He was interactive, funny, and informative. The students loved him! The hour that he spoke flew by. The students were talking about the presentation all day!
-Lance Middle School
George was very open with the students and answered all of their questions with sincerity. I have several students patiently waiting for his new book to release.
-Henderson Junior High
That class loved you and your talk! They're not the calmest, so I am always a little hesitant with speakers. There are a lot of kids interested in writing there, and they really appreciated your candor.
-Charles Wright Academy
School Visits
For schools, I offer presentations, workshops, and Q&As centered around my books, storytelling, being a writer, and my Arab culture!
My visits can be a half-day or full-day, in-person or virtual, and I’m always happy to flex to the needs of the students.
My interactive school visit presentation is perfect for all ages and covers a variety of topics such as my Lebanese American background, my writing process, how the audience can write their own stories, and the inspiration behind my books!
