“I want to recommend Antoinette Truglio-Martin for an author visit. She is a thoughtful, clear, and engaging presenter. She spent a class period at our school and did a fantastic job with my sixth grade students. She inspired all of us to write. She also talked about her writing and the publishing process. She shared a chapter of one of her books with my students. She took the time to answer any questions my students had regarding the writing process. If you ever have the opportunity to have Antoinette at your school, don’t pass it up!” ~Kristin Achtziger 6th Grade Teacher Milton L. Olive Middle School Wyandanch, NY
