Autumn Festivals
To be announced.
I love visiting schools and can run a variety of assemblies and writing workshops for years 2 - 7 and can travel within the UK and internationally. My school events are all organised by Authors Aloud, so please do get in touch with them to discuss fees and availability. I also sometimes tour when I have a new book out, and these tours are organised by my publisher alongside local bookshops so let your local bookshop know you’d like a visit!
