SCHOOL VISITS…

Apologies, all my available sessions for the academic year 2023-2024 are now FULLY BOOKED. Next availability is SEPTEMBER 2024. Please note, I am only able to offer a few online sessions per term due to my writing commitments. I now request payment BEFORE the event. Thank you.

I am offering ONLINE EVENTS ONLY for schools, currently. I fully appreciate it isn’t quite the same as meeting in real life, but my writing schedule is pretty hectic for the coming months. So, by saving time on travelling it means I can fit in more of the short visits that teachers find seem to work well alongside teaching Letters From the Lighthouse, Secrets of a Sun King, or Escape to the River Sea.

I’m also very happy to arrange book sales and signed, personalised bookplates via trusty bookseller Bronnie at https://bookwagon.co.uk/

Events can be via Zoom or Google Meet, and will work in small group, whole class or assembly-sized settings. Below are my fees ( I am VAT registered so VAT is charged in addition to these fees) and what I offer: 

• 30mins Q+A  session- £175
• 1 hr author talk on your chosen topic/book, short readings + Q+A- £300
• 2 hr Mini School Visit- 1 hr author talk as above, plus 1hr creative writing session with a class-sized group) – £575

NB: these are fees for online workshops. All fees are subject to VAT. You will be charged VAT on your invoice.

Payment is requested in full BEFORE the event. You will be invoiced on completion of a booking form. Links to online events will be sent once payment is received.

My fees for in-person events are as follows and are in line with The Society Of Authors recommended rates:

-1 hour (author talk +book signing)- £350 plus expenses

-Half day visit ( author talk + book signing+ workshop)- £675 plus expenses

-Full day visit- £875 plus expenses (author talk + book signing + 3 workshops)
