I really love chatting with book groups and it was a particular pleasure to visit Emma Suffield’s brilliant group of passionate readers at St Wilfrid’s School, Blackburn. The school is fortunate to have a large and well-equipped library, including a space for quiet reading. I spoke about my journey to publication and some of the highlights of researching for a series like the Ink Trilogy.
There were fantastic questions, and my personal highlight was getting book recommendations from the students.
Emma has had a real impact in the school and it’s clear that the library is a place where students feel welcome and safe. I was seriously impressed by the pupils and their love of books – so many voracious readers. It was really encouraging. I’m hoping to go back and do a writing workshop as there are some inspiring writers in the school who would appreciate some guidance on getting story ideas and knowing how to get writing.
I find school visits pretty terrifying – I’m not a teacher and I don’t know how teachers do it, but I love love love low-key events like this where there is plenty of space to chat and share ideas.
The Lovely School Library event was such an inspiring experience it reminded me how valuable proper guidance and resources are in academic growth. Events like these truly encourage students to aim higher in their studies. Recently, I realized how important professional support can be when I had to complete my university assignments on time. I came across Academic Editors, and their expert assistance made my work so much easier. Their Medical manuscript formatting service also helps students maintain quality and accuracy in academic writing, which is a real time-saver.
I really enjoyed reading your reflection on the library event—it brought out a warm sense of community and how learning spaces can open up curiosity. As a student lately, I’ve been working through a demanding online course load and sometimes wonder about reaching out for StraighterLine quiz and test assistance just to keep up. But seeing how you capture the joy of learning reminds me how valuable it is to stay engaged and grow through the journey itself.
