Hello! I offer talks and assemblies for large groups about the Adventures on Trains series and what it’s like being an author. These include a reading and time for questions.

Testimonials:
"WOW! What a truly amazing visit we have had from Sam today! His energy, enthusiasm and love of reading, writing and books were totally infectious and both the children and staff members loved his workshops. I cannot recommend him highly enough to others and we shall definitely be having him back in the future for different cohorts of children. Simply fabulous!"
