Testimonials

"Thank you so much for the inspiring and creative Oral Tradition workshop you delivered at our school. It was so lovely to have an author visit where the children hardly get to sit down and don't have to write anything in order to learn about literature! The fast pace and activities were well suited to our children's needs and the performance of work at the end of the day just showed how much the children gained from the time that they had with you. I will definitely recommend you to colleagues, particularly because of your enthusiasm and great way with the children. Thank you again!”

“I wasn’t sure whether I should become a writer, neither had I considered being a poet as I thought it out of my reach, but after the workshop I realised what my goal in life is."
