I am available for school and library visits. I also sometimes give evening talks to writing groups on writing for children. I talk to groups about where ideas come from, how I write and what I write. I try to involve the audience as much as I can.

I visit primary and secondary schools. My preferred age groups are Years 3 to 8. I can offer short (30 minutes) sessions with Key Stage One pupils but tend not to write for this age group.

My fees are available on request.

"I really liked the visit from the author and I thought it was really cool when she let us get up and act out the plays from the stories."
