School Visits

Steve’s talks are a light-hearted mixture of anecdotes and advice about writing stories, finding ideas and what happens when a book gets published. He also offers writing workshops to show children fresh approaches to creating stories and poems. As an ex head teacher and Senior Lecturer in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University he is very used to speaking to large (and small) groups of all ages. He regularly visits schools up and down the country and says that meeting young readers is the part of the job he loves most of all!

Fees are based on the Society of Authors recommended rates.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss a possible visit.

Your enthusiasm was infectious and the number of staff – teaching and non-teaching – who popped into the library this evening to say thanks for a brilliant day was really rewarding.
