A Selection of Jennifer's Books
Jennifer Bell
Type of Artist:
I provide an interactive presentation for school assemblies and also creative writing workshops for 7-11 year olds.
As a former specialist children's bookseller of ten years, I am hugely passionate about encouraging a love of reading in children. During my visits I share the unlikely story of how I became an author, and take students on a voyage through the mysterious world of my books. I offer two types of events: an interactive presentation designed for school assemblies, and a smaller creative writing workshop aimed at helping students unlock their imaginations. More detail about the workshops is available on request. Both presentations and workshops are suitable for ages 7 – 11.
