School visit from Sally Nicholls

A school visit from Sally Nicholls – either in person or on Zoom – to any year group from nursery to sixth form.

The winning bidder will need to cover travel expenses from Liverpool if the visit is in person. Visit will last a maximum of three hours, and cover author talks, creative writing workshops or a combination of the two. Books can be provided to sell, or not, as you choose.

This is also open to libraries, bookshops and book groups, and the winning bidder will work with Sally to find a mutually suitable date.

Sally Nicholls was born in Stockton, just after midnight, in a thunderstorm. She’s always loved stories, and spent her childhood trying to make real life work like it does in books. At the age of twenty-two she enrolled on an MA in Writing for Young People at the university of Bath Spa, where she wrote her first novel, Ways to Live Forever.

Sally has published nineteen books for children and teenagers. She has won many awards, including the Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize, the Glen Dimplex New Writer of the Year (children’s category and overall winner) and the Independent Booksellers Week Book Award. Her YA novel about the suffrage movement, Things a Bright Girl Can Do was shortlisted for a Carnegie, and An Island of Our Own was shortlisted for the Costa Book of the Year and the Guardian Children’s Book Prize. Her books have been translated into over twenty languages, and Ways to Live Forever was made into a feature film.

Sally lives in Liverpool and spends her time writing stories, looking after her two children, and trying to believe her luck.
