Events

Kathy loves nothing more than bringing her stories to life beyond the page. Whether she's captivating a room full of wide-eyed nursery children, inspiring budding young writers, or connecting with book lovers at festivals and community events, every appearance is a chance to spark a love of reading and storytelling.

Kathy is available for school and nursery visits, assemblies, creative writing and journalism workshops, book signings, literary festivals, charity events, and community collaborations. Sessions are tailored to the age group and can be delivered in English or German.

For schools, Kathy offers half and full day visits with a range of interactive sessions — from early years storytelling for FS1–Year 2 to author talks and creative writing workshops for older students up to Year 9. Virtual visits are also available.

Dear families, teachers, and young readers, …

Come with me ‘behind the scenes’ to discover how my stories come to be ahead of the author visit.

From real places and everyday moments to scribbled notes and creative sparks, this video will give you a glimpse into how my ideas grow into books.

I hope it helps you feel ready (and excited!) for my upcoming author visit, as I share what inspires me & how - with time - my stories come to life.

I can’t wait to meet you all at school and share some of these with you very soon.

Love, Kathy x
