Writing Editing Author in school
Daniel Blythe: Writer
Arranging a School Author Visit
I can do either a one-off school visit or a series of linked sessions. Please email to determine if I am available on your chosen date(s). It also helps to give a choice of days.
It’s helpful to give a brief outline of the kind of session you’d like from me: a general ’Author Visit’, more formal creative writing session(s), a mixture? Will I be meeting children across the ability range, or a specific group? How many, and from which year group? Would you like me to discuss my writing in general, or Doctor Who, or any other aspect? Would you like me to do some structured writing exercises with the children, or would they prefer a reading plus a Q&A format? And so on.
New for 2020-21: I now offer ’Virtual Visits’ -- details in my information pack, which can be downloaded free by clicking on the PDF icon below.
SCHOOL VISIT INFORMATION PACK for teachers and librarians.
FREE to download.
If I am able to make one of the suggested dates, we can discuss a detailed timetable for activities, plus my fee. I will write to confirm all the details we have discussed.
It is useful for me to know at least a couple of months ahead where I am going to be. However, if you want a booking at short notice, there’s no harm in asking!
Fees: I charge fees comparable with those charged by other members of the Society of Authors, plus expenses - usually just travel, and accommodation if needed. I will know at the discussion stage if I will need overnight accommodation.
I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate, and I have Public Liability Insurance from the Society of Authors.
I am also registered on the website Contact An Author, where you can express an interest in booking me and detail your event requirements.
