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!
