Author visits

My visits usually consist of a 30-40 minute story telling session, where I introduce myself and talk about writing in a second language - encouraging the children to tell me about their own backgrounds.

Then there is reading (with props when possible) a chat about the message in the book followed by an activity or a game - depending which story I am reading. For very young children I tend to do a shorter intro, read the book and help with the craft.

If you are interested in a visit, please get in touch with information about the age group involved, time of visit, number of kids, and expectations of course.

I am always happy to pop over to a bookstore to run a story time session, chat to little ones and sign some books. So if you own or work at a bookshop (especially SE London ones) and facy doing an event together, then lets chat!

I absolutely love libraries and have have ran story time at Bromley, Orpington, Maidenhead and have other scheduled at Beckenham, Chislehurst and Roehampton.  So if you want me to come over and read my books, please get in touch.

I have taken part in Stepping into Stories, Bradford Lit Festival, Book Week Scotland and Cardiff Kids Literary Festival.
