SCHOOL VISITS & EVENTS
AUTHOR VISITS
I LOVE talking about reading, writing, AND of course, my Knobbly Bottom!
As a comedy writer and drama teacher, I like to inject humour into my events and so my talks include lots of laughter, interaction and possibly a few bum jokes! I am passionate about inspiring children to write and share my top tips on creating funny stories! These events are suitable for year 3 - 8.
I can focus the talks on either THE BEASTS OF KNOBBLY BOTTOM , CRINGE CLUB or both!

DRAMA & STORY-TELLING EVENTS
I also work with Big Bubble Theatre Company and we offer fun and engaging drama and story-telling days which are designed to inspire pupils to read and write their own stories. It features Knobbly Bottom's very own beast hunter, Nan Helsing (also an experienced drama workshop facilitator). More info here. There are suitable for Years 3 - 7.
VIRTUAL VISITS
I offer fun virtual visits for THE BEASTS OF KNOBBLY BOTTOM and CRINGE CLUB. These include a set of signed books sent to your school, an inspiring and funny author talk and a question and answer session! I also offer a few FREE virtual visits per term to schools with a high number of pupil premium.

Andrea Burrows, deputy head, Lowdham Primary School
"The children absolutely loved hearing from Emily Jane and were inspired to hear her share her writing journey."
Lousie, The Bookcase, Lowdham
"Emily-Jane entertained a hall full of children with her tales of Maggie McKay's reluctant move to the countryside and the vampire sheep roaming through the fields before engaging them in drawing their own fantastic Beasts Of Knobbly Bottom. Great fun and laughter was had by all!"
Wendy, Truman Books, Leeds
Both school groups were on good form with plenty of hands up at the right time and laughing at all the bum jokes. Emily-Jane Clark’s presentation was really well balanced with information about the books, her background and interactive segments for the children to participate in.”
