With a background as a secondary English teacher, editor and publisher of children's magazines, I enjoy working with children in the classroom. I offer talks for children of all ages about my work in general or on a specific topic. I can run workshops on various aspects of writing fiction, writing non-fiction in an interesting way, or the process of writing and editing magazines. Please email outlining your program and I can tailor a topic to suit your requirements.

As well as talking about my own writing, some of the topics I have previously run workshops on include:

• Getting to the heart of the story
• Story toolkit
• The character's voice
• Writing adventure stories
• Writing feature articles
• Producing a magazine
