I do a talk about where ideas come from including a short reading.

Polly Bennett, Deputy Head of Junior School, Ratcliffe College:
‘A huge thank you for coming into school and speaking to us. ALL the children have spoken about since is Sophie and the Shadow Woods, shadow creatures and the next book they are going to read! They absolutely loved every minute of the talk and meeting you! I think we now have 130 budding authors!”
Broomfield, School Librarian at Nottingham High School for Girls:
‘Linda is an excellent speaker, good at engaging the children and a great ambassador for books and reading.’
