I'm available for story sessions, workshops, virtual and bookshop visits, and I'm registered with the Scottish Book Trust's Live Literature programme, a project to encourage and help fund author visits into schools and communities (This is me – hello!).

Science Fiction events (middlegrade, ages 9-14)
I love science fiction, and in this event I'll chat about why I think it's cool, how it can help us change the world, about why I believe empathy is a human superpower – and discuss what an alien robot might think about humans…
This is an interactive presentation suitable for ages 9-14, and lasts about 40 minutes - 1 hour.
INVENT THE FUTURESome inventions have changed the world, but they're not always the ones we expect! In this event I'll chat about some amazing (and some rather less amazing) inventions, get the audience to help me invent something brand new, and talk about what I think might be the greatest human invention of all time…
This is an interactive presentation suitable for ages 9-14, and lasts about 40 minutes - 1 hour.
Dragon Storm events (chapter books, ages 7-10)
"In the land of Draconis, there are no dragons – until now…"
Follow award-winning author Alastair Chisholm to the land of Draconis for an event based on his fantasy adventure series DRAGON STORM!

Then help Alastair create a brand new dragon – and choose its special dragon powers!
This is a mix of interactive presentation and drawing/writing activity, suitable for ages 7-10, with duration around 40 minutes - 1 hour.
