JOHN MALAM
Children's non-fiction author

John's 200+ non-fiction books cover curriculum and popular topics, particularly history, biography and the humanities. He has written guided readers in the Oxford University Project X series, and is a National Literacy Trust Reading Champion, recognised for work with reluctant readers, particularly boys.

School visits: John's school visits are popular with R, KS1 and KS2, in which he offers readings, talks and writing and role-play workshops. Many of these sessions can also be offered to special schools, and are suitable for transition events, G&T, clustering and mentoring. John is experienced at working with children of all abilities.

New for 2012: Biography sessions based on the life of Queen Elizabeth II, linked to the Diamond Jubilee. John's new biography of the Queen - Queen Elizabeth II: Her Story - is available as a souvenir for schools to give to children. Give literacy, not a mug or a medallion!

PHILIP CAVENEY
Children's fiction author

Philip's early novels were for adults, but in 2006 he wrote a book for his young daughter. The book was Sebastian Darke: Prince Of Fools, which became a four-part series that has been published all around the world. Since then he has created the Alec Devlin mysteries (the terrifying adventures of a 15-year-old archaeologist) and most recently, the Movie Maniacs series about a magical cinema where children can enter films and interact with the characters.

School visits: School sessions usually take an hour and can be presented to large groups of children, ages 9+. Up to four sessions can be incorporated into the day. A typical session includes a showing of the trailer for Night On Terror Island, a talk, a reading and a question and answer session. Philip can also arrange to bring and sign copies of his books. He is also happy to work on writing workshops with smaller groups of children - up to 30 maximum.
