News

2nd June I had a great day at Oxford University recently, working with some lovely and talented students who are interested in writing for children. I've never been to Oxford before and found the city absolutely beautiful.

The Festival of Writing in York was a wonderful experience in April. I ran several workshops and met a lot of enthusiastic writers. Over 400 people attended the festival and I think it's safe to say that we all had a lot of fun.

21st March Congratulations on the birth of Grenya! Isn't she beautiful? As far as we know, she is the first person ever to be called Grenya, apart from The Greenwich Guardian, of course. .

School visits

One of my favourite things is visiting schools. Teachers, you may find some useful things in the teachers' pages.

Did you know that Welsh schools are eligible for assistance with funding the costs of visiting writers? Check the Academi website.

All around the world

Click on the picture to see some of the international versions of the books.

The Time Wreccas is now translated into nine language. I am very excited that I get mail from all over the world. Perhaps I will be able to visit some of the lovely countries where people are reading my books.

Roald Dahl Museum

In October 2007 I had a great day out at The Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden. I love seeing where and how other writers work and so it was fantastic to be able to sit in Roald Dahl's chair. The museum shop has a display of Matilda's Reading List and I was really excited to see The Time Apprentice right in the middle!
