I am available to speak with groups or classes. I’ve been a teacher and presenter for many years and have worked with a wide variety of age groups though most of my writing is oriented towards grades 6 and up. I’m a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.

I’d be glad to work with you to plan a program that will suit your individual needs. Most often I work with groups on the writing process including; getting ideas, writing dialogue, developing characters, creating scenes, plotting and if interested, the themes and content of my own books.

Please feel free to contact me at bob@bobkrech.com

In April 2008 Bob spoke to eighth graders at Thomas Grover Middle School, Princeton Junction, NJ about writing and his YA novel, REBOUND.



Summer Visit to The King's English Bookshop
Salt Lake City, Utah


While on vacation up in the Rockies, I got to visit The King's English Bookshop in Salt Lake City, Utah. Here I am in front with Margaret Brennan Neville and REBOUND. A great bookstore! Very fun place with a very knowledgeable staff. Stop in if you are in the area.

Walter Dean Myers (author of GAME) and Bob Krech (author of REBOUND), with Erin Thorn and Lisa Willis of the New York Liberty, read selections from their books to local students. This event was sponsored by The Children's Book Council, the WNBA, and the NBA Store as part of the Children's Book Week Celebration in New York.



A souvenir from a recent visit to the Avenel Middle School Library in Avenel, NJ

6th, 7th, and 8th graders heard a talk about writing and REBOUND. After some book and postcard signing they presented me with this student-autographed basketball! Thanks all you Avenel students and super-librarian, Mrs. Harrington!
