Current news

Virtual Creative writing festivals
I am delighted to be one of the authors and illustrators  who have been busy recording workshops and plenaries for the Mini-Shout! and ShoutWest! creative writing festivals
​

Here I am with fellow authors, Mo O'Hara and Karen Owen with our bags of books for the Mini-Shout! outside the wonderful Tales on Moon Lane Bookshop.

Thank you to the  Arts Council for the funding!

Projects I'm involved in

This will be my third year taking part in #BookPenPals

​

What is BookPenPals?

​

BookPenPals pairs UK authors and illustrators with UK schools to make book recommendations via postcards. Schools reply with a postcard of their own. The Pen Pals pairings last for one school year

​

Pairing will be happening very shortly
