TALKS
How I Wrote (and Published) a Book as a Teenager
This is a 45 minute talk, discussing how I wrote my first novel while doing my GCSES. I offer advice on how students can come up with their own stories and how they can find the time to write. I also talk about other how social media can make us better writers – and discuss my time as a book blogger and YouTuber.
At the end of the talk, there is a 15 minute Q&A session. This talk works well for both large and small groups.
WORKSHOPS
Booktube & Blogging
With each talk or workshop, I will send your school signed Paper & Hearts Society series book plates and postcards for your students and/or school library.
Please note that, due to my schedule, I am currently only taking limited bookings for school visits and require notice of a term. This is because, as well as being an author, I am also a university student – and have lots of studying of my own, just like your students!
I charge in accordance with the Society of Authors’ recommended rates. For more information or to book a talk or workshop, please contact me directly at lucygpowrie@gmail.com and include SCHOOL VISIT in the subject line.
