Author Visits and Workshops
I love visiting schools, libraries, bookshops, and festivals to share stories, draw pictures, and meet young readers. My events are lively, playful, and hands-on, mixing storytelling, illustration, and a peek into the ideas and drawings behind my books. Sessions are designed to engage children creatively and encourage their own ideas, and can be shaped to suit different ages, groups, and spaces, in person or online.
If this sounds like a good fit for your setting and audience, please feel free to get in touch to discuss a visit. I’m based in Northern Ireland, and my fees follow the author guidelines recommended by Children’s Books Ireland.

What People Say
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Clive on a number of workshops in Kuwait. Clive led sessions for over 200 children of different ages and nationalities, skilfully adapting the content (sometimes at the last minute!) to capture their attention and stimulate their imaginations. Clive’s engaging style encouraged even the most shy children to build their confidence to draw and develop their creativity."
- Belinda Lewis, UK Ambassador to the State of Kuwait
