I’m available for speaking at schools, doing author talks and writing workshops. I’m happy to speak for ages 8 to 15 (grades 4 to 9) and can do anything from small groups to whole grades.
I can cover a range of topics such as.
- How to be an author-everything from gathering ideas to storylines.
- Writing humour/jokes (including stand up comedy)
- All about Thailand-a quick look at the land of smiles (ideal for harmony day and other multicultural events)
- The publishing process, from the manuscript to the finished book.
- Writing stories and entertaining narratives (can be modifed for NAPLAN)
- Coming up with ideas for stories and characters
- Multiculturism/Asian Australians in books.
“A huge thank you to Oliver for visiting our school! His workshops and discussions about writing and first book, Thai-riffic, coupled with his energy and humour have really inspired our students! We’re very much looking forward to seeing Oliver again next year!” R.Smith, Year 6 English teacher, Sheldon College QLD
