Meet Natasha
AUTHOR VISITS
I love to visit schools and libraries to talk about my books and writing. I am really passionate about getting children to love books and to explore their own creativity. I have worked in lots of different roles in the publishing industry so I like to give children an insight into how an idea becomes a book.
I can adapt my sessions to suit a particular age group but this is a general guide to what I do.

I am a member of the Writers in Schools Scheme run by Poetry Ireland, which provides funding to schools for author visits. Find out more.
