Testimonials:
“The length of the queue in our library for book signings at the end of the day was testament to the connection Fleur had made with our children. When our Year 6’s left to go to secondary school in July and were asked to reflect on their time in year 6, many of them reported Fleur’s visit to have been a highlight.”
Jo Farrell Lead English Teacher – Hamstel Juniors
“Quite simply, for me, when I think of what I want a children’s author to be in real life, Fleur Hitchcock fits the model perfectly.”
Dr Jacqueline Johnson, Jacqson Diego Emporium
“Fleur really engaged with our students and motivated many of them to persevere with their creative writing and their reading.”
Louise Birkett, Ribston Hall, Gloucester
'Fleur visited us at Bideford College in September to run two creative writing workshops with Year 8 and Year 9. The students that participated included lower ability and SEN. We wanted them to have the opportunity to work creatively within their abilities, but to also challenge themselves; Fleur delivered two inspiring and motivating sessions that saw some wonderful pieces of work created.
The students left enthused and confident in their abilities - we would not hesitate to have Fleur back!'
Lynsey Southern Librarian, Bideford College.
