I’m thrilled to not only to be at the Compass Point School book fair in Bristol this coming Thursday signing copies of Nevertell, but also that I’ll be in Waterstones Birmingham on Saturday the 30th November, where I’ll be leading a free, fun workshop on writing adventure stories, reading from Nevertell and doing a signing. It’s an honour to be able to support my local and wider community in this way, to meet readers and hopefully inspire some young writers too. You can find out more about both on my events page.
Speaking of which, last week I got to go to London again for some author events training. I was a bit nervous at first but a) I got to meet some wonderful people and b) we went on a proper journey together, peaks, troughs and all. I loved it and I’m now raring to get out there. So if any schools or bookshops would like me to visit, give a talk or lead a workshop, just know that I’m super keen in the uncoolest way. If you’re fine with that then please do get in touch.
Look at our chuffed little faces! Huge thanks to Damian and Amy of Author Profile for the remarkably non-frightening and brilliant training, and to them and to Angela, Lucy and Joseph for being incredibly lovely.
And look what greeted me when I first walked in to Walker Books HQ. A whole Nevertell display. Amazing!
