Preferred age range:KS2 and KS3 & KS4.
I can do a presentation/author talk to KS2 (if in a Primary School) or Year 7/8/9 (if in a Secondary School).
I’m also happy to do slightly shorter whole school assemblies. I also now deliver creative writing workshops to Year 3 all the way through to, and including, sixth form and have recently been working with GCSE students on the creative writing component of their English Language exam. Also happy to read to KS1 children and/or chat to them, if in a Primary school.

Testimonials:
From Joy Court, Learning Resources Manager, Coventry, and National Co-ordinator CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals:
“Rarely have I come across a writer who has the presence and performance skills to really engage children from all backgrounds and abilities as Harriet Goodwin does so brilliantly: her thoughtful analysis of the writing process ensures that she is really able to hit all the creative writing trigger points for children and the result is a huge enthusiasm for writing and, of course, for devouring their own precious copies of her books.”
