School Visits

Details

Creative writing is my passion and when I’m not writing my own work, I love nothing more than inspiring imagination in other people. I have travelled all over the country, helping hundreds of thousands of people to write – and not one of them has been unable to produce a story in my classes.

So that I can visit more schools and keep costs down for stretched budgets, I offer both full- and half-day visits:

Half-Day Author Visit

  • a 45-minute whole school assembly.
  • followed by an hour-long session of your choosing – a Q & A, a workshop – whatever fits you best.
  • Book signing.

 Cost = £350 + travel expenses (travel exes to be split if visiting another school in your area that day)

 

Full-Day Author Visit

  • A 45-minute whole school assembly
  • 2 x (1hr) creative writing workshops to any age and any size group
  • 1 x 1hr Q&A session to any age and any size group
  • Book signing

 Cost = £700 inclusive of all travel expenses

 

Skype Q&A

If you'd like to chat with Maz online, I offer hour-long Skype sessions for £100 per hour (pro rata).

 

My school visit days are Tuesdays and Thursdays

If you are interested, do please let me know your area, nearest train station and possible dates.

If you would like to book a school visit, please send me a message via the contact page.

So check out Maz’s menu…

 

 

Who Let the Gods Out?

Who Let the Gods Out?
Who Let the Gods Out?

1-hour workshop, recommended for Yrs 3 – 6

Inspired by the anarchic world of Who Let the Gods Out?, Maz will use the opening scene of WLTGO to teach young writers the importance of Point of View - whose shoes are you standing in and how does it change the story if you look at events from someone else's perspective? Important lessons to be learned in writing - and indeed, in life... 

 

Rosie Harker, Nosey Parker

Details

45-minute workshop, recommended for Yrs R – 2

Rosie’s always getting into trouble – she’s such a Nosey Parker! But Maz’s heroine will help little people to use their imaginations to draw (or write) what Nosey Rosie might find on her adventures.

A gentle introduction to creative writing that will encourage little minds to have big ideas.
