Visiting Author/Illustrator to Schools

I love visiting schools to talk about my book and how I came to write it. I show the children an exciting video sneak peak inside the novel and field lots of questions.

Then I visit their class rooms one by one to read passages from the book and show more illustrations.

After that I give them a drawing demonstration focusing on how to add movement to their own drawings. We also talk about language and how to effectively describe the characters they create.

On a pre-prepared worksheet the children then create their own characters and write a descriptive sentence about them. 

At the end of the day the children and their carers, Mums and Dads can buy a signed and personalised copy of the book.

Don't worry if you can't buy a book on the day, you can easily get one here on my home page. Just leave me a message with your name and school details and I'll deliver them as soon as possible to your school. Make sure you select LOCAL COLLECTION.

You can also easily sign-up to become a member of the KEEPER CLUB which will give you access to KEEPER CLUB CLASSIFIED FILES on this very website.

Key Stage 2 thoroughly enjoyed their visit from Pete.  The class workshops were engaging and all the children were excited to have a go 'illustrating' under Pete's guidance and enjoyed listening to extracts from Pete's novel. We would thoroughly recommend a visit!
