Need someone to liven up your school assembly, corporate event or festival? Perhaps I could be the public speaker author you are looking for.

What you get

As a children’s author my talks are loud, interactive and bursting with creativity. I cover a wide range of topics including books, vikings, football, unicorns and anything else that pops into my head. Want a statuesque speaker, who reads chunks of their books, and sends everyone to sleep? I’m probably not for you.

I’m also available for online sessions. All the fun of the my in-school talks, but without the need to get me a glass of water at the start. I’m very demanding.

Here’s a quick clip of what I provide via Authors Aloud. Perfect for those who are too busy/lazy to read the rest of this page.

How to get in contact

However, if you want me to speak to an adult audience go to my corporate events page for more details. Or just get in touch via my contact page and say hello.

Thank you so much for your amazing author event. The boys loved you and the post visit demand for books has been amazing. It was the most inspiring fun and enjoyable event.

Linda Huxley, Librarian, Rokeby School.

Scott, thanks so much again for your brilliant efforts at the Progeny Annual Conference. You had the hardest job of all the speakers as you had to warm the audience up! They were totally chatty and engaged thanks to you!

David Parkin, Director, Coppa Events

Thanks for coming over!  The families really enjoyed the session.  I have no doubt we’ll have you over again when the opportunity arises. 

Iain Hendry, Audience developer, National Science and Media Museum

Thank you for the visit, the children had a great time! I’m already hearing from staff how engaged the children were and how funny and exciting they found the session.

Laura Wood, Alwoodley Primary School

Thank you for being such a total star. It was great to see the response from the kids at the events. They absolutely loved your talks, and to see their brilliant questions and excitement over the books was a real privilege
