I spend most of my time sitting in front of a computer writing stories, or scribbling at my drawing desk. So it's nice to go out into the real world every now and then, and to meet some of the children who read my books or watch my films! I visit up to 15 schools each year, mainly in London and the South East of England. To request a brochure with details of my visits, or to check fees and availability, please contact me by e-mail.
Further information can also be found on ContactAnAuthor.co.uk.

I have worked with children from Nusery to Year 6 and do 4 different types of sessions: A storytelling session, a 'How a book is made' session, a writing and illustrating workshop and a session on animation. Sessions last between 30 and 70 minutes each and work best performed in front of class-size groups. However, some sessions can be adapted for la larger audience. I can also make a short presentation in assembly if required.
