Sophie presents a variety of lively and fascinating author talks for a variety of ages, angled around a variety of themes which explore an author’s life, and the writing process. These include, but are not limited to:

 

 

 

What’s it really like being an author?

The author’s journey: from childhood scribbler to published writer.

Where do you get your ideas from?

From non-English speaking child to established author: how being bilingual and brought up in two worlds influenced my writing

The journey of a book: from lightbulb idea to the bookshop.

Writing for children: is it different to writing for adults?

Ideas that work, and ideas that don’t: and how you can distinguish between them!

 

Note: Talks can be either presented face to face, or by Skype, depending on what works for you. Skype presentations attract a small discount; enquire via the Booking Enquiry form.
