Children’s writing workshops this summer

Did you miss the children’s online writing workshop with fabulous children’s author, Helen Rutter? What a shame. That means you didn’t get to hear all about Helen’s inspiration behind her book ‘The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh’ and you didn’t get to meet her dog, Billy Whizz!

Never mind. There are two more workshops still to come.

The first is with ‘Secret Agent Striker’ author, Tim Pearce and the second is with children’s writer and illustrator, Claire Alexander, author of ‘A Little Bit Different’.
