Events and Workshops!

If you'd like to book me for school, library & festival events please contact me from my contacts page.

As well as giving talks, readings and attending book signings I also run story-writing workshops for primary and secondary schools across the uk. These sessions are fun and interactive, working to open the senses and get the creative juices flowing. A typical hour an a half session will cover meeting your character, finding your setting and creating a plot. 

Feedback from workshops & events:

Ha ha ha, the best bit for me was the smelling, it was really fun and you were really inspiring and it was really fun!

I would never have thought of that way of getting your character and setting...I'm sure my stories will improve now I know what to do!
