Children Discovering Books

As a charity set up by teachers we understand the school system and we passionately believe that there is an author that is perfect for every school.

An Author in Your School

We organise workshops and visits from the most creative and experienced children’s writers, poets, illustrators and storytellers in the country.Browsing our Authors pages will give you a selection of some of our many talented writers, illustrators, poets and storytellers on offer. The Author in your School pages will give you advice on preparing for a successful visit and a checklist of useful tips for the day of the visit to ensure that that everything runs smoothly. More… Teachers, help us to continue our work by filling out our quick online Evaluation Form.
