Owner Info

Mark Wayne Adams

Anyone who knows Mark, knows drawing is a huge part of his life. When asked if he illustrates for a living, he responds with an inspiring drawing lesson and recommends his best sketchbook to aspiring writers and artists. Mark’s contribution to children’s books gives him recognition through numerous book awards. Mark received the Annual Marlene M. Helm Alumni Achievement Award created to honor an outstanding alumnus or alumni for their contribution to the arts in their home community, their service to the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts, and the dedication to enriching the state’s artistic future. The Award is named in Honor of Marlene M. Helm, Secretary of the Education, Arts, and Humanities cabinet who has contributed in these same ways to the growth of the GSA program and to the development of the state’s young artists. Mark is now the publisher of the Best Fairy Books series. Visit the Best Fairy Bookstore at www.BestFariyBooks.com. Read More »

Public Speaking

Are you looking to reinforce writing skills or meet State Standards? Presentations are an affordable way to reward, motivate, educate, and entertain your entire group. Not only will the group be inspired to write and draw, but they’ll have fun at the same time. We’ll spend 45 minutes learning that our story is much fun shared on paper. If your school has specific goals for the event, I’ll gladly tailor presentations accordingly. Preview the presentation calendar at our bookstore and speaking website, www.BestFariyBooks.com or email us to schedule a presentation.

Testimonials

“To see his work in person was totally amazing. I was in awe. If he illustrates one of your books, he also works hard and sells them. And this man is a selling machine. I honestly think he outsold the food vendors. I learned a lot just from watching Mark interact with people.”
- K.C. Hilton, Author

“I keep thinking Mark is just using lines like everyone else–how is it his lines look so much better?”
- Steve Riley, PJS Publishing

“YOU ROCK!!! Not to mention, You're hired. :) You're truly amazing Mark. And you are right, you never sleep. I can't wait to meet with you on Monday. P.S. Can you remember the first time you actually saw your dreams coming to life? That just happened for me. Thank you.”
- Christa Carpenter, Author
