Author of fun, quirky and heart-warming stories for ages 3-6 & 7-12
In Action!
I love doing assemblies, creative writing workshops, school visits, book signings, library talks and festivals. My sessions are fun and interactive and yes, there will be audience participation!
Please contact me for rates & availability.
School visits: I offer a 60 minute assembly to KS2, where I talk about how I became an author, where my ideas come from, and how I researched and edited The Matilda Effect. I also offer a 60 minute creative writing workshop for KS2, where we look at creating our own characters, using my character checklist, add conflict to a story, and how to write a cracking opening sentence. For Reception & KS1, I offer a 30 minute assembly sharing my picture book, 'Oh, Armadillo! This Party's All Wrong!' and the inspiration behind it, along with a creative task and activity sheets on thinking differently about things.
Festivals: I'm currently available for a fun & interactive 30 minute session for ages 3-6, sharing my picture book, 'Oh, Armadillo! This Party's All Wrong!'
