Reasons to Read More This World Book Day

Personalised Letters for Schools and Libraries

It’s that time of year again when authors and schools are gearing up for World Book Day. So I’ve put together an extremely serious letter for schools encouraging reading for pleasure.

I repeat – this is an extremely serious letter. So if you’re not interested in amazing facts such as how reading can help you to become more popular than a slug or why we eat sausages and not librarians then absolutely don’t bother getting in touch with me.

But if you are intrigued by these extremely serious insights, and you think your pupils would be too, then please drop me a line via the contact form here with your school name and e-mail and I’ll be in touch soon.

Thank you and happy World Book Day 2025!

I write funny books for children inspired by myth, fairy tales and Ancient Rome and offer author visits and creative writing workshops to support the curriculum and boost reading for pleasure.
