A Selection of Steve's Books
Steve Voake
Type of Artist:
AuthorMy talks are a light-hearted mixture of anecdotes and advice about writing stories, finding ideas and what happens when a book gets published.
I also offer writing workshops to show children fresh approaches to creating stories and poems.
As an ex head teacher (and now Senior Lecturer in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University) I am very used to speaking to large (and small) groups of all ages.
I regularly visit schools up and down the country and can honestly say that meeting young readers is the part of the job that I love most of all!
