At the end of last term we held our fourth ‘Becoming a Writer’ event, with award winning author Nicola Morgan. Nicola is the author of several novels and has also published two non-fiction books, ‘Write to be published’ and ‘Blame my brain: the amazing teenage brain revealed.’Nicola talked to the group about her experience as a writer and why people write, then talked about her novel ‘Mondays are red.’ She then did some exercises with the girls, looking at the relationship between colour and sound. The girls came up with their own piece of writing and then a general question and answer session rounded off the session.
Nicola very kindly donated copies of two of her books to the school library, plus a bag and some tea towels!
The next author in the series will be Dave Cousins, on February 4th 2014. Look out for ‘Becoming an Illustrator’ with Sarah Gill on January 20th 2014.
