Donald Miller booking information and faq

Currently we are booking Donald’s fall 2009
sixty-five city US and Canada tour entitled:

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, An Evening with Donald Miller and Friends

This tour will be a “road” tour, Don will be traveling on a bus or car for the duration of the tour so the dates are routed for driving.

The Evening will be comprised of Donald speaking and reading from his new book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years…What I learned while Editing My Life, the evening will also include appearances from one or two other Christian author/comedians yet to be determined.

* What is the honorarium to host the tour?

When the event is finished, it is our hope that the tour will not costing your church/organization anything. Here how it works:
Tickets for the event will be sold for $15 (may very in some markets)
The honorarium for the evening is $4500. You will be asked to send in a $900 deposit (which is included in the $4500 honorarium) with your signed contract. The remaining $3600 will be due the night of the event.
Your organization will be asked to cover the expenses for the promotion of the event.
The night of the event, the tour will settle the event with the promoter and pay back as much as the honorarium and expenses from the ticket sales.
