Lisette Auton is an award winning children's author, playwright, poet and spoken word performer, published by Puffin and Bloomsbury. She's a trained actor and qualified youth worker. She specialises in a whole school inclusive approach so that, just like in her books, no one ever gets left behind. Mrs D and Mrs T say: "Lisette was so energetic, encouraging and engaging. The pupils absolutely loved her session and produced some wonderfully imaginative work! She had the pupils in the palm of her hand. It is one of the best creative writing sessions that I have seen. It was lovely to see even our most reluctant writers enjoy experimenting with creative writing."

children's and YA author and poet

Play explores the nuances of male friendships as four boys navigate towards adulthood - when one of them gets drawn into a county lines drugs gang, their childish games take a wrong turn. It's predecessor, Grow, is a critically acclaimed, tense, exciting, contemporary YA story about grief and far-right radicalisation. I am an experienced educator and speaker. My novels draw on my extensive work with young people as an English teacher, with a particular eye on reluctant male readers. My books deal with themes like anger, shame and friendship which I continue in my author talks on the importance of reading and in my engaging and inclusive workshops. I am flexible to your context and can tailor sessions for large and small groups to suit your requirements.

I love running creative writing workshops for children and adults alike. In particular, for KS2, KS3 & KS4, I have a range of fun-filled, activity based workshops and high energy, interactive talks that get children thinking and experimenting with storytelling. I am also experienced in running workshops for adults especially, who are in the early stages of their writing.
