School Visits
Please get in touch to book a school visit.
Mission
During my visit to your school, I will lead an engaging and lively reading session, where we will explore selections from my work and immerse ourselves in the captivating world of storytelling. Together, we'll delve into the prologue, analysing the underlying events and reasons that set the stage for the tale. Through sharing my personal journey as an author, I hope to ignite a spark of inspiration in your students. To enhance their educational experience, I'll provide downloadable materials specifically related to my book, designed to nurture their creativity and enrich their appreciation for literature. This unique opportunity promises to be a meaningful and unforgettable learning adventure for all involved.
