Earlier this week I joined other authors and illustrators to run workshops at this year’s ShoutSouth festival, held at London South Bank University and organised by CWISL. Young people from eight south London schools took part in this fantastic story making event. I was part of team Leopard, working with fab authors Jamie Buxton, Jackie Marchant and Sarah Mussi. What a buzz of energy despite extreme heatwave conditions – marvellous!
