Now in the Essex Book Festival!

I had a really nice meeting with Ros, Director of The Essex Book Festival. Apart from getting on really well and finding much common ground she has engaged me to do two 'Story Creation Games day for the Essex Book Festival next year. One in Colchester and one in Chelmsford, both in March. How cool is that.
It will take the form of two separate hours sessions. The first will be games to develop a story. The second hour will be devoted to finishing the story and creating an illustrated front cover with Qi Fang who has tentatively and provisionally agreed to come down and help.
Also those children attending will be able to get a stamp for 'The Children's University Passport' for taking part.
How cool is that! It will be a showcase event for sponsors and interested parties with the aim of creating a children's writing competition the following year!
