Author Visits
Visiting schools and libraries with ‘Jessie and JoJo’ has been some of the greatest highlights of my literary journey. I remain humbled by the way children have shared their feelings, amazing insights, opinions and stories at the workshop sessions.

Who is Jessie & Jojo for?
Jessie and JoJo is most suitable for children in Years 1-6; and in my experience it has been better to group years 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6 together for three separate sessions. I am skilled at adapting my presentation style according to age and ability, and am happy to deliver sessions for Reception children also.
Topics covered in the workshop include;
-
Sharing worries (bother-bugs)
-
Talking about feelings
-
Diversity and inclusion
-
Friendships, what is a good friend, being a good friend
Fees & Logistics
My fees are £200 + VAT for half a day or £350 + VAT for a full day.
All books purchased by children/parents are dedicated and signed. A percentage of book sales proceeds are donated to NSPCC and WIRES.
​
I have a current DBS and have worked in a primary school as a School Business Manager, ELSA and Drawing and Talking Practioner.
​
I am based in Hampton (TW12) and in an effort to keep additional expenses to a minimum, I mainly work within a 10 mile radius of this area. By special arrangement, I am happy to travel further.
