I spend WAY TOO MUCH time sat in front of my computer screen so...
I'd love to come
and say hello!
I have lots of experience of visiting schools, libraries and festivals. I can talk to small groups or huge groups, run writing workshops, give readings, sit on a panel and - with a little pre-planning - tailor my day to suit you. I am also a qualified English teacher and have many years of experience teaching GCSE and A Level; I can help your students sharpen their writing skills in readiness for their exams, creative coursework or controlled assessment. Here's what other schools have said:
"Hayley’s visit was
a huge success. She enthused Year 7 boys and girls with her lively
and hilarious presentation, and I was really thrilled to see
students working feverishly to produce haikus in the workshop
sessions. I would highly recommend Hayley if you’re considering an
author visit."
- Amanda Balaam, Copleston High School, Ipswich
"Lively, fun
and inspirational, Hayley engages students from the start of a
workshop right through to the end, with hilarious readings from her
novels, character creation and plot ideas on the way. Students get
a real kick out of these sessions - and so do
I!"
- Kim Russell, English Teacher, Stalham High School,
Norfolk
"Thank
you so much for giving your time to our students and for giving
them something fantastic to talk about for the next few years! A
fantastic event from a superb and much-loved
author.
- Kirsty Price, Whitchurch High School,
Cardiff
Subject to availability, I can now make a visit any day of the week and will consider travelling to any location - even if that's in Timbuktu.
