Details
My easy-to-read paperbacks for schools are packed with strange aliens, marauding mummies and skateboarding grannies! An ex-primary deputy head, I provide an exciting, inter-active visit day for schools guaranteed to inspire your most reluctant writers, especially boys!
A 'typical' VISIT DAY in school may include
- presentation
- storytimes with Spike the dinosaur
- writing workshops
Author in Residence
My author in residence service ( 2 or more days in school) can make a real impact on writing standards in your school - especially with boys in mind!
In a standard primary school I can usually provide something for EVERYONE in a day!
Visits: Anywhere (based in Kent)
Fee: Society of Authors rec rates
Thank you so much for such a fun day!
