Events

Keep an eye on this page to keep up-to-date with events where you can meet Josie.

Part of the fun of being a children’s author is getting to meet young readers and their families.  Josie is available for author visits in bookshops and schools.  The visits are great fun for all involved.  As well as reading her stories to the children, Josie gets the children involved in art and craft activities based around one of her stories.  There might even be a treasure hunt with sticker prizes!

Or if you’d like to be inspired to create your own stories, check out the Workshops page.
