SCHOOL
AUTHOR VISITS
Students get
excited when an author comes to visit them. They
want to read more and write more.
I'm
available for talks or workshops on a wide variety
of subjects relevant to school-age writers. These
can range from single or double-period workshops to
longer residential retreats.
I also run
and moderate an email list for school-age writers,
providing them with an forum for sharing ideas,
asking questions, and supporting each other's work.
This is an invaluable ongoing resource, and it's
free!
Because I'm
a younger author, I find I engage well with high
school students. I also have experience in a wide
variety of formats, including freelance journalism,
corporate and technical writing, poetry, stage and
screen plays, and of course novels. Because of this
I have many insights that are useful to those
thinking about a 'real-world' writing career.
If you're
interested in arranging an author visit to your
school, you can book me or other local authors
through my speaking agency:

You can also
contact me
directly to find out more about what I offer. I
love working with students, particularly from senior
high-school. I find it quite inspiring!
