Author Visit

Tanner was a delight to have visit our classroom! He connected with the students in such a natural and fun way. His enthusiasm and passion were evident as he shared his poetry. My students were talking about his visit days afterwards!

I have had the joy of sharing poetry and storytelling with students of all ages—from kindergarten to college classrooms. Over the years, I’ve spoken at public and private schools across the United States, bringing words to life through poetry, storytelling, chapel messages, assemblies, and interactive writing workshops.

Teachers and Educators,

Are you looking for a modern-day poet to inspire your students?
Do you have aspiring young writers eager to learn from a published author?
Do some of your students struggle with poetry and need a fresh perspective?
Could your classroom use a creative spark?

An author visit is more than just a talk—it's an opportunity to ignite creativity, encourage reluctant writers, and show students that words have power. Through poetry, storytelling, and engaging discussions, I aim to make writing fun, accessible, and meaningful.

Let’s work together to bring poetry to life in your classroom!
