I'm available for author talks and writing workshops in schools, readings in preschools and as part of a KinderFest booking. All my presentations are fun and interactive.
My writing workshops use The Scared Book as a launch pad to discuss aspects of character and writing technique, as students interact with and examine elements of my picture-book character. The hands-on workshops involves readings, discussion, drawing, writing exercises and role plays. Students will develop their own, unique character as a way to finding plot and exploring many essential story elements and narrative devices. To book me for your school contact The Children's Bookshop Speaker's Agency.
My author talks are playful and lively, celebrating the joy of books and engaging students' imagination.
To book an author talk contact The Children's Bookshop Speaker's Agency or as part of a KinderFest, contact Greenleaf Press.

"Debra Tidball was our visiting author for our recent Book Week celebrations. She spoke with children in Years 3-6 about her book "When I see Grandma". ... Debra engaged the children so well, involving them meaningfully as she spoke about why she wrote the book... The session was very well received by children and teachers alike with one Year 5 teacher beside me commenting, "She is very good ..." and Debra is! I would recommend her to any school...."

'Thank-you again for the wonderful writing and book focus session held here at St Kevin’s Dee Why.
The students presented many images and discussed the writing process and clever tips you provided them with during our whole school assembly the week following the session. This involved all classes, staff and many members of the parent community...
Again, we very much appreciated and enjoyed your engaging writing session and expertise as a writer.'
