Children’s Author Free School Visits

I will be offering a limited number of free school visits.

The number of free school visits that I can perform will be limited. I cannot give all of my time away for free – I have a wife and young family to support.

Authors Aloud

Children can meet the author. Hear the stories spoken aloud with passion by the children’s author that wrote them and engage in the enthusiasm of the storytelling.

It is not difficult to arrange an author or illustrator visit for your school. There are many services out there offering bookings. However, to land those all-important free school visits is a task that most school budget holders find the hardest.

Free School Visits Refreshments

I like:

  • Tea, milky, no sugar – you decide if I’m sweet enough!
  • Water and sugar free drinks.
  • I will eat most things and prefer brown bread, rice and pasta, it’s good for you, but not essential if the you and the kids are eating something else.
  • I have no food allergies.
