Author Visits and CPD
With fun entertainment at the heart of my events, my aim is to inspire children to read and write for pleasure, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. I offer lively interactive talks and readings, as well as engaging, curriculum focused workshops. Oh and adults, bring your earplugs because there's going to be lots of... KA-POW, SMASH, WHAM and BOOM!
So SUPERHEROES, are you ready for a new mission with me?

CPD - Teacher Training
Creative Writing and the Curriculum
With declining statistics for children who read and write for pleasure (see National Literacy Trust's reports), it's never been a more important time to tackle this crisis.
I'm offering a three-part training programme of 45/50 minute sessions focused on improving teacher knowledge in order to support children's writing progress and attaintment in the classroom.
Session 1: What is Creative Writing?
- An introduction to writing creatively and the research behind its importance for children.
Session 2: Become a Creative Writer
- To learn the creative writing strategies required to plan and write outstanding stories.
Session 3: 'Natural Flair' in the Curriculum
- To understand how creative writing improves EXS and GDS writing by helping all children write with 'natural flair'.
