EVENTS

Please contact me to discuss school visits (virtually only for the time being). To give you an idea of fees, a 40-45 minute Q&A via Zoom or Skype would be £75, in line with Society of Author guidelines. We can talk about writing, inspiration, research, history, characters, writing your own story, our favourite books...

The Society of Authors has a brilliant Guide for Schools on organising an Author visit, which you can find here.
