Virtual Visits

"All the children and staff thought you were just beyond AMAZING.
They couldn't believe what a fantastic experience it was - and all virtually!
You are the best author we have ever had! THANK YOU so much!"
Woodbank Primary School

Ever wanted to see inside a writer's world? Come on in! I'll show you where I work, share stories and writing tips, and get you all super excited about putting pen to paper.

What to expect

• My talks are geared towards EYFS, KS1 and KS2. They last 45-60 minutes, including 15 minutes for Q&A. With multiple classrooms 1 hour is necessary to allow time for more personal exchanges with the children.
• My sessions are upbeat and interactive. I ask lots of questions, set fun challenges and try to involve everybody. 
• I often screen share and use virtual backgrounds, fun filters and physical props.
• We'll discover how big imaginations make us stronger people. I'll talk about my books, usually focusing on my latest release unless you make a specific request.
• I'll tell you about my job as a writer, including how I come up with ideas, how long it takes to write my books and how many mistakes I make along the way. 
• For younger audiences I'll read at least one of my picture books in full. For older year groups events will focus in my chapter book series, DO NOT DISTURB THE DRAGONS, unless you request a picture book focus.
• I’ll answer as many questions from the children as time allows.
• I aim to leave children and teachers excited, happy and fired-up about literacy. I love receiving follow-up emails and tweets from teachers showing me the resulting work children have created - and I always reply!​
