Author visits

I enjoy visiting schools to talk about writing, publishing in general, and Anglo-Saxon history (people love seeing my 1,000 year-old Anglo-Saxon brooch – please take a look at the Where do you get your ideas from? section for more information about this). Creative writing workshops can also be arranged.

To arrange a visit to your school, library or bookshop please call the Walker publicity department on +44 (0)20 7793 0909. Alternatively, you can drop them an email at this address: publicity@walker.co.uk

“Katy’s visit was a really valuable experience for our pupils right through from Yr 5 to Yr 12.   Assemblies and Q&A sessions were engaging for the larger groups, but what we were especially delighted with was the workshops she offered for our G&T pupils, who thrived under her professional guidance.  An author’s direction of skilled creative writers’ work is something which we as English teachers cannot offer our pupils in the same way, and Katy’s approach allowed pupils’ confidence and skills both to grow.   Highly recommended!”
