Author talks and literacy workshops for schools, universities and more

“@WGallagher enjoyed the session today at Benson. Gave me some good ideas to put into practice. Many thanks”

“All of the parents of the children whose scripts I sent to you described it as the highlight of the year!”

schools_lorenzo_1For a writer, I talk a lot. The only people who talk more are the schoolchildren, teachers, professors, parents, book group members, musicians, actors, journalists and young offenders I work with. They always think I’m just coming to show them writing but they always leave having written new plays, stories newspapers and news websites.

“Been to @writingwestmids group in Polesworth where @WGallagher helped us compose 12 world-premier radio plays in all his tea-loving might.”

Email me, William Gallagher, for a natter. I have a CRB, a thoroughly reasonable rate and a mouth on me. Every talk is designed individually for your age groups and curriculum needs. Sessions in the past year have ranged from single hours to full days and recurring weekly visits.
