“What an honor it was to have Mrs. Draper meet with us! Just like her books, her words were moving, motivational, and meaningful. My students, who are junior year college students and education majors, can’t stop talking about how she inspired and encouraged them! If you get the opportunity to meet with Mrs. Draper, I can’t encourage you strongly enough to take advantage of it! She is amazing!!”

“Thank you for taking the time to meet with us. Your responses to our questions were so insightful and came to you so eloquently. I feel as if I were to meet you, I could talk to you for hours! Although there were well over 100 attendees, I felt as if you were talking to me and giving me the inspiration to keep going during these trying times. I am tearing up (again) just thinking about what an impression you left on me. Thank you, stay well, and keep being you!”

“We LOVED your book Out of My Mind! It was amazing, funny, and heartfelt, and sometimes dramatic! I was so in the book that I didn’t want to stop! And also, thank you for talking to us on Zoom and giving us tips for writing, and much more! Your book Out of My Mind was so amazing, I want to read the rest of your books! They must be really good too! You’ve taught me a lot and I hope you write another book!”
- Nour Hassan
“Thank you for your time with us today. I really enjoyed it. It was so cool to meet a famous author like you. I will treasure this moment for the rest of my life. Out of My Mind is one of my favorite books. Again, thank you for your time with us on Zoom today. I really appreciate your time.”
- Norah Shiferman
“Thank you so much for spending time with us! It was so nice to hear you talk about being an author and tell us about your other books. I can’t wait until the Out of My Mind sequel comes! It was an honor!”
- Fourth Grade Student
“Thank you for taking your time to meet us on Zoom. I never believed that you would come. I have never met a famous author, so it was really exciting to meet one. I’m also REALLY excited to read your sequel and I hope the sequel does well. You are SO nice and I thank you again for coming.”
- Mosie Burak
“Thank you, I learned so much about Melody and the book Out of My Mind. Something that surprised me is that maybe you will use our thoughts! I am super excited, and THANK YOU so much for that!!!”
- Lenka
“Thank you for doing us, I’m Lucas and I’m honored for you to answer my question! I loved your book and can’t thank you enough for answering my question. I would like to thank you for joining us in Zoom, and I hope we can meet again in person next year! I’d like to say a couple things. First, I was excited when you said check out the book Blended because I had already heard of it and didn’t know you were the author! Also I liked how you made a big plot twist at the end of the story. Thank you!”
- Lucas
“Thanks for spending time with us and showing us some of the books you wrote. We are eager to read other books and very excited for another book that you’re writing now. Also, I have something to say last, why did you recommend Blended? We enjoyed reading Out of My Mind and listening to your answers to the questions asked. Our class appreciated a lot spending time with you, listening to your answers, showing some of the books you wrote and some other language ones. We were very glad to see you in Zoom!”
- Kanna
