Components of School Events:

  1. Talk: includes a power-point presentation which gives students insight into how I got into writing, my journey to publication, an author’s life, my publishing and writing process and my books.

  2. Writing workshops topics: World-building, writing process, writing for different genres, creating your own stories, generating story ideas, how do you make a book and a look behind the scenes at the publishing process

  3. Q &A: I would advise teachers and other educators to get student to prepare their questions before my visit

  4. Book Signings: In person visits usually include a book signing, and the opportunity for students to have a copy of my book signed.

Technical requirements: For all events which require a presentation, I’ll need the ability to show a PowerPoint and for writing workshops, students will need pencils/pens

Taking pictures & video: I have no problem with photography, video, or audio recordings being taken during my appearances, there is no need to get my permission ahead of time to do any of these things

Pay Rates: I follow the Society of Authors recommendation on rates and fees for events

Travel: I live in London but I am available for visits outside of London, across the UK or abroad as well. For events outside of London, I will need as much advance notice as possible. Expenses will need to be covered for such engagements i.e. travel tickets
