If you’re interested in booking me to talk about books, a reading from my new LGBTQ+ Adult Novel, a children’s event (I do a great ‘inclusive’ storytime session for ages 1-6!), a panel discussion, some book reviewing, or for anything else at all really… please do drop me a line here:

Events and Live Interviewing
I am an experienced interviewer, event host, panel member and interviewee. Previous experience includes : Book reviewing for print, radio and television. Book industry presentations at conferences and formal events. Interviewing authors, illustrators & book industry people at live events and festivals. Chairing and participating in panel discussions. My interview style is audience-focused with an emphasis on encouraging guests to talk as much as possible with minimum intervention from me! I specialise in LGBTQ+ books & authors, children’s literature for all ages, and crime and literary fiction, but I am happy to consider events for any genre or ages.
