Liven up your schooltime or library with an event with a Piccadilly author!

'It's fantastic to see how  visits from authors can have a powerful effect upon young people and how they think about books and stories.  Once they have made a connection with a book and its writer there is obviously a greater enjoyment of their reading experience. ' – Julie Hird, Rotherham Library

"Jane's visit to us at Langley Park Boys' School was an unqualified success. Our boys were inspired not only by readings from the excellent Hattori Hachi novel but by Jane's passion for writing and creativity. The library was buzzing with excitement and English classes have been energised and enthused ever since the visit. 
The Sixth Form Creative Writing Club were immensely grateful for Jane's practical advice and motivating words. I would recommend a visit to any school looking to enliven their English students."
