Students in Year 7 were lucky enough to spend time with the New York Times best selling author GP Taylor today. 

The session also saw the author asking for volunteers in order to take the students through a captivating creative writing class. GP Taylor gave out minor roles in his discussions in order to demonstrate various techniques employed by writers. He went on to look at the importance of characters within a book, “without characters we have no fiction books”, he said. He challenged them to look at people they know and write down several positive things about them and then write down several bad things, GP Taylor explained all characters can be based on people we observe or know, we can simply change or add things to them.

During his presentations the pupils were given the opportunity to ask GP Taylor questions and he was also available for any book signings and further questions after lunch.
