I make my performances interesting and informative but also fun. Having worked as an actor and musician I do bring an element of performance to the talks, often encouraging a certain amount of audience participation.

Testimonials:
Robert’s visit to the school made a real difference to the students’ attitude towards literature and story writing. They were excited to hear the tales of a real author and were inspired and eager to write down their own ideas. Robert had a way of intriguing and engaging the students, whilst encouraging their own creativity. A fun and successful day was had by all!
