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

19th June Wow! It's been ages since I updated this page. I had a great time at the Hay Literary Festival earlier this month. Now I'm looking forward to next week, when I'll be at Norwood School, in Southport, for their Arts Festival. It all sounds really exciting. In July, I'll be on the authors' team at the final of the Kids' Lit Quiz in Oxford.
I had a lovely time visiting Walton Priory Middle School, in Stone. Follow the link to read a couple of the exciting stories written by Year 5 and then click on this photo to see another one. 
27th February I had a great time in Bath for the Literary Festival. Thanks for looking after me everyone!
October. 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! I was asked to sign the copies in the shop, so if you're quick you could get one of them!
I'm very excited that The Time Wreccas is being transformed into a play with music. I'll let you know more as the project develops.
Did you know that Welsh schools are eligible for assistance with funding the costs of visiting writers? Check the Academi website.
