Discounted School Visits

***This offer has now expired. Watch out for further offers in the summer term.***

Great news for schools in the Manchester and Trafford areas. I’m running a special promotion designed to make my author visits more accessible to local schools struggling with budgets. Working with Urmston Bookshop, I’m offering a full-day author visit for just £275 so long as schools can guarantee the sale of at least 30 books. My usual fee is £400 plus travel expenses so this is a considerable discount.

Since the publication of my debut novel, Princess BMX, my school visits and festival events have empowered thousands of children to smash stereotypes, follow their dreams and read and write for pleasure. With the launch of my latest book, My Family and Other Romans, I am now inviting children to join me on an epic adventure back to Ancient Rome where they will discover their inner brave and fire their imaginations and creativity.

“Fun, engaging and interactive talks filled with disgusting facts and little known information about the Romans, as well as inspiring discussion about life as an author and finding your inner warrior. There was such a buzz from the pupils attending!”
Schools Engagement Lead, Waterstones Altricham

Interested? Visit my events page for more information or download the leaflet below. Please note the promotion is for visits taking place before the February half term so please book early to avoid disappointment as availability is limited. A full-day visit would incorporate an assembly, book signing plus three writing workshops.

LARP meets real life in this fast-paced and fun historical time travel romp that children in KS2 will love. It’ll turn your Romans topic on its head!

Terms – To qualify for the discount you must be located in the Manchester / Trafford area or within an easy half-hour drive of my home in South Manchester. However, if you are in a deprived area where children might not normally have access to author visits I may be persuaded to travel slightly further and/or discuss the target for book sales. Once a booking has been confirmed, I will put you in touch with Urmston Bookshop to arrange book sales.
