Live and virtual visits.
Contact me through the contact form below for further information and to organise a date. My events are aimed to inspire and ignite imaginations and are best suited to 7-12 year olds.
My signature event is an inspirational fantasy map creation workshop using techniques I use as an author. It’s designed to inspire a variety of age ranges and levels and to leave educators with a variety of possible follow up work to fully make the most of your sessions.
In Person Visits
In person visits usually involve either an author talk with writing prompts for the teacher to use after the session, or an author talk plus a workshop (or more than one workshop depending on the setup). The fee varies depending on the distance travelled and requirements so do get in touch for further information.
Virtual Visits
Sessions are charged at £150 for 45 mins-1hour
This can be a tailored specifically to one of the books if you using as a class read along or as the basis for topic work.
The session can include either an author talk with a q&a or a combination talk and workshop with q&a.
Workshop options include fantasy map making and designing a robot character, both of which can be used to propel extended story writing after the session.
Fantasy map making has proved to be a hugely popular workshop and can be used to springboard the children into writing their own fantasy stories. During their map making they will be plotting their own quest and using their own interests to spark world-building.

“Vashti surpassed all expectations when she opened our new Library. She took time to get a feel for us as a school and give a genuine and authentic presentation for the children and parents. Her teaching experience was clear, as she caught children’s attention immediately and took them on a creative journey, where they learnt that ‘imagination is their superpower’. We cannot thank you enough, Vashti!”
