Other information:

I visit schools, bookshops, libraries and festivals throughout the year to talk about my books and inspire children as readers and writers. My author events are entertaining, interactive and keep large audiences of hundreds of children enthralled. As a former teacher and education consultant who has worked with the Department of Education, Booktrust and the National Literacy Trust, I know the immense value that an author visit can bring and can tailor my events to suit individual schools and groups.
