ABOUT ME
\nHello! My name is Bryher Mackenzie and THE NIGHT WHALE (illustrated by Gillian Eilidh O'Mara and published by Walker Books) is my debut picture
\nbook. My second title, GREAT-AUNT MARGOT AND ME (illustrated by Rhiannon Archard and published by Andersen Press) was published on the 1st
\nMay 2025. I like to write books with big feelings and magic, too. My literary agent is Lorna Hemingway at Darley Anderson Children's Book Agency.
\n\n
SCHOOL VISITS:
\nIt would be rather dreamy to visit your school and share my love of stories with you all.
\nUnderneath is a rough guide of what I can offer on a school visit but please do say if you have any other ideas in mind.
\n\n
Assemblies: With lots of behind the scenes peeks, assemblies can cover topics from WRITING HOW WE FEEL and MAKING A BOOK, from initial ideas
\nto publication, to WHAT IS AN AUTHOR? and my own experiences. All assemblies will include the message that anyone can be an author.
\n\n
Workshops:
\n\n
Plot Structures
\nA Quest/The Hero's Journey
\nUsing well-known examples, the class will discuss plot outlines and why they are helpful when writing. Alongside character and setting, students will be
\nable to think critically and creatively about their own ideas and begin to create an outline based on these plot structures. Other subjects such as art and
\ncomputing can be incorporated as children will be able to take these ideas to design a book cover and poster for their stories.
\n\n
Suitable for KS2.
\n\n
Magical beings (and big feelings)
\nA workshop where children will create their own characters. Children will answer a number of questions to build their own character profiles. They will
\nthen be able to draw their own characters ready to a craft a story for them to star in. There are optional add-on activities such as constructing quests
\nand discussing how we can use goals and obstacles in our storytelling and/or how we can explore feelings through our characters when writing and
\nillustrating.
\n\n
Suitable for KS1.
\n\n
Where would you go?
\nIf you could take a trip on the Night Whale's back, where would you go? Who would you take? And what snacks would you pack?
\nBecome an illustrator and draw your own spread for The Night Whale. Includes a class discussion about the importance of setting.
\n\n
Suitable for KS1.
\n\n
Session length: Assembly, up to 30 minutes. Reading and Q&A, up to 45 minutes. Workshops, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
\nFor EYFS, a reading and Q&A is always good.
\nThis is flexible so please do ask.
\n\n
Travel: I live in Shropshire and I am prepared to travel anywhere if schedule allows, and if return travel and (where necessary) accommodation
\nexpenses are covered.
\n\n
Fees: My fees are based on The Society of Authors recommendations. I am aware of the current pressures on school budgets and will try my best to
\nwork with you and your budget.
\n\n\n
Please feel free to contact me about possible visits without feeling that you are then obliged to book. Questions are always welcome.
\nThank you!

The theme for our week this year is Reading is Wild and trying to focus on the fun of writing and reading stories. \r\n\r\nI was wondering whether you were available to join us on Monday 2nd March (or any other day that week) for the full day. My ideal proposal would be that you do a reading and Q&A session with our EYFS classes (nursery and preschool), then do three separate workshops one for KS1, one for year 3 and 4 and one for year 5 and 6. Could you please let me know if this is something that you would be interested in doing. \r\n\r\nKind regards\r\n\r\nVicky Miller","enquiryOnly":true,"engagementConfirmedDisplay":"unconfirmed","oppositeEngagementConfirmedDisplay":"confirmed","ipAddress":"81.134.143.100","responseDateTime":"2025-11-24T11:57:37.2270964","feedback":"","feedbackFromClientOn":null,"bookingConfirmationFromClientOn":null,"showFeedbackOnWebsite":false,"showFeedbackOnAuthorsProfile":false,"organisationUrl":null,"hideFromAuthor":false,"id":10732,"createdOn":"2025-11-24T11:57:32.0514416","createdOnDisplay":"Monday, 24 Nov 2025","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"24 Nov 2025 11:57","createdBy":"aa9c6344-7429-4f27-b6ba-529928f694ea","modifiedOn":"2025-11-18T21:03:32.561471","modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"18 Nov 2025 21:03","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},{"authorId":3547,"date":"2026-07-01T00:00:00","fullName":"Katie Kelly","fullNameAndDate":"Katie Kelly : Wednesday, 01 Jul 2026","fullNameAndOrganisation":"Katie Kelly (Spring Vale Primary School)","firstNameAndOrganisation":"Katie (Spring Vale Primary School)","organisation":"Spring Vale Primary School","organisationOrNameIfNull":"Spring Vale Primary School","email":"kkelly@springvaleprimary.co.uk","address":"Spring Vale Primary School, Kenilworth Crescent","postcode":"WV4 6SD","fullAddress":"WV4 6SD","fullAddressOrEmailIfPresent":"kkelly@springvaleprimary.co.uk","phone":"01902556589","contactDetails":"e: kkelly@springvaleprimary.co.uk p: 01902556589","engagementClientType":null,"engagementType":{"text":"Workshop","listOrder":0,"active":true,"id":4,"createdOn":"2018-02-18T17:16:23.228582","createdOnDisplay":"Sunday, 18 Feb 2018","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"18 Feb 2018 17:16","createdBy":"Seed Method","modifiedOn":"2020-04-22T10:12:34.5868731","modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"22 Apr 2020 10:12","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},"curriculum":{"code":"KS2","text":"Age 7 to 11","codeInBracketsIfNotNullAndNotEqualToText":"(KS2)","textAndCode":"Age 7 to 11 (KS2)","listOrder":3,"id":3,"createdOn":"2018-02-18T17:16:22.925584","createdOnDisplay":"Sunday, 18 Feb 2018","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"18 Feb 2018 17:16","createdBy":"Seed Method","modifiedOn":"2018-04-08T08:19:51.737931","modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"08 Apr 2018 08:19","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},"message":"Hi Bryher - can you please let me know of your availability and details for a visit on this date?","enquiryOnly":true,"engagementConfirmedDisplay":"unconfirmed","oppositeEngagementConfirmedDisplay":"confirmed","ipAddress":"193.63.54.113","responseDateTime":"2026-03-24T11:35:52.0312309","feedback":"","feedbackFromClientOn":null,"bookingConfirmationFromClientOn":null,"showFeedbackOnWebsite":false,"showFeedbackOnAuthorsProfile":false,"organisationUrl":null,"hideFromAuthor":false,"id":11074,"createdOn":"2026-03-23T14:04:14.5917761","createdOnDisplay":"Monday, 23 Mar 2026","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"23 Mar 2026 14:04","createdBy":"929dc846-ab2f-4be9-9d94-476af0b08011","modifiedOn":"2026-03-20T20:29:49.2588909","modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"20 Mar 2026 20:29","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},{"authorId":3547,"date":"2026-09-06T00:00:00","fullName":"Fedrick Edward","fullNameAndDate":"Fedrick Edward : Sunday, 06 Sept 2026","fullNameAndOrganisation":"Fedrick Edward (Faithful readers club)","firstNameAndOrganisation":"Fedrick (Faithful readers club)","organisation":"Faithful readers club","organisationOrNameIfNull":"Faithful readers club","email":"faithfulreadersbookclub@gmail.com","address":"Google-Meet","postcode":"10036","fullAddress":"10036","fullAddressOrEmailIfPresent":"faithfulreadersbookclub@gmail.com","phone":"+1 9285099577","contactDetails":"e: faithfulreadersbookclub@gmail.com p: +1 9285099577","engagementClientType":null,"engagementType":{"text":"Interview","listOrder":5,"active":true,"id":2,"createdOn":"2018-02-18T17:16:23.228579","createdOnDisplay":"Sunday, 18 Feb 2018","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"18 Feb 2018 17:16","createdBy":"Seed Method","modifiedOn":"2019-10-09T20:53:00.481907","modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"09 Oct 2019 20:53","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},"curriculum":null,"message":"Dear Esteemed Bryher ,\r\n\r\nWe are delighted to invite you to be part of Faithful Readers, a literary-focused reading initiative committed to bringing readers and writers together through meaningful conversations, shared stories, and a deeper love for books.\r\n\r\nYour voice, experience, and creative journey would bring a unique perspective to our community.
