I believe your school’s success in fostering creativity, curiosity and mastery around the written word can be achieved through this unique programme I’ve developed called ‘Made Up’.

It’s a powerful and cost effective way to lift pupils’ reading and writing to the next level – even if they’re currently reluctant at both.

I particularly like working with teachers to support environment-themed topics and showing children how they can write climate fiction.

I developed all the ‘Made Up’ workshops to free up young imaginations and deliver tangible results. If you’d like me to work with your school, email me today and let’s discuss it.

Half-day Session

A half day in-person session provides scope for 3 workshops.

You can mix and match my different themed workshops to suit your requirements, enabling different year groups or ability levels to participate.

£250

Whole-day Session

A whole day in-person session allows time for 5 workshops.

By booking me for the whole day, the whole school will benefit from an interactive workshop session with me.

£400

Livestreamed Discovery Session

An hour-long online author-led discovery session.

This session offers scope for remote schools and homeschooled children to get to know me via a virtual assembly or a class Meet & Greet.
