Testimonials:
"Your session was absolutely fantastic! - such a fascinating and thought-provoking insight into your writing, the thinking and feeling behind I Have No Secrets, and the writing process. English colleagues were hugely impressed and fascinated, and pupils responded really well. I think you informed them, shocked them, made them think, inspired them and really gave us all a privileged insight into your work."
