Can’t believe a week has passed. The countdown stirs up Christmas cheer every year! If you’re toddling off to London, pop to see the tree and GLOW, commissioned by ⁦‪@PoetrySociety,‬⁩ in all its light box glory! What a wonderful poetry tradition they’ve established.

With nativities, illness and EVERYTHING else it's verging on chaos in school, which makes us appreciate the enquiries we're getting all the more! If you're trying to get organised for next term and want an in-person author visit to help celebrate the #YearofReading, get in touch!

Still feeling a certain incredulity about having a poem displayed in Trafalgar Square. Grateful to ⁦‪⁦‪@PoetrySociety‬⁩ for trusting me to write this special poem. poetrysociety.org.uk/news/look-no...

I’ve had a number of people asking to see the whole poem, as there have only been snippets on radio and tv, so here it is, without its light box glory. If you are very, very bored this afternoon, I’m scheduled to be on BBC London at 3.10pm, for an interview.

Have you been following along with our #AdventCalendar? There's all sorts of fun and treats behind the doors! Head on over to www.instagram.com/authorsabroad to see what's behind todays door! #ReadingForPleasure

Looking ahead to #NationalStorytellingWeek in February, a visit with a storyteller isn't just for the younger years and experienced storytellers like Cat Weatherill deliver magical days for all age groups. If you would like to book Cat to visit your school, we'd love to hear from you.

If your students love graphic novels and manga, then we would most definitely recommend an author visit with manga illustrator @sonialeong.bsky.social 🎨🖼🖋 Sonia's illlustration workshops always go down a storm and are a brilliant way to get reluctant readers into books!

It's #InternationalMensDay so we're sharing some feedback about one of the most multi-talented men we know! Kev Payne is a poet, illustrator, non-fiction author, he's been a town crier and a Punch and Judy show puppeteer as well as a teacher! We're really not sure how he's found the time!
