Bringing an author into your school, community or college setting is a great way to bring writing to life. Many authors are experts in working with children and young people and can bring their stories into the classroom to inspire young writers of tomorrow with their creative, real world experiences.
For budding writers, the opportunity to talk to a published writer about their experiences, advice, and receive feedback can help writers with confidence building, honing writing skills and opening opportunities for potential future works.
