The highlight of my year was visiting Shakespeare’s school – King Edward VI school in Stratford Upon Avon in July 2021. I ran a creative writing workshop for Year 9 boys, who were inspiring and engaged and wrote wonderful short stories and story openers. A year talk to all the Year 9s followed with some insightful questions. A tour of the school, Shakespeare’s classroom, and the museum finished the perfect day. It was a wonderful school visit to start off  in-person school visits!

Please get in touch via the contact page if you would like a school visit in Autumn, whether it’s a creative writing workshop or an author talk.
