What We Offer
We know teachers and librarians are busy so we can provide as much help and advice is as necessary to make the day enjoyable and a positive learning experience for all.
As well as advice on which author might work best in any given situation, we will provide information on your chosen author or illustrator which will contain some, or all of the items below, depending on the speaker:
- a biography
- a list of published titles (these are aksi available on the author’s web page)
- top tips for an author visit
- a letter template to send home informing parents of the visit, mentioning how it will support the teaching of literacy and suggesting that their child might like to buy a book at the end of the talk and get it dedicated to them by the author.
We will make any necessary travel/ accommodation arrangements for the author and we can assist in making sure books are available for sale on the day. This leaves you free to just look after the author on the day and enjoy watching the stimulating effect the visit has on the students.

Sam Angus, Author
You are always so efficient and I don’t have to worry about anything, just have to do what you tell me to.
Andy Seed, Author & Poet
I have no hesitation in recommending Authors Aloud both to schools who are looking for an inspirational visitor and to authors, poets, storytellers and illustrators who can offer that inspiration. Their extensive experience, professionalism and attention to detail makes the process work successfully for both parties.
Garry Parsons, Illustrator
I just wanted to thank you for organising my three events during World Book Week recently. Your organisation was brilliant as always and the schools were both delightful and the Windsor Library service folk were brilliant too.
