Author Visits and Creative Writing Workshops
I have visited over 300 schools in the last ten years, working with children and young people from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 3. I run author talks, creative writing workshops and writing days designed to get children excited about books and help them develop their own writing skills.
I visit schools in London, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire and sometimes further afield.

Recent research by the National Literacy Trust found that author visits have positive effects on pupils’ literacy, motivation and creative confidence, with particularly strong improvements among pupils eligible for Free School Meals. Read the National Literacy Trust research →
