Lynne Rickards's headshot

Lynne is available for readings in schools, libraries and book festivals. She can give creative writing and poetry workshops, as well as talks to young people or adults about the process of publishing a picture book. She is happy to read to children 0-5 and 5-8, and do workshops and talks with the 8-12s.

For younger audiences, she combines story reading with question and answer time and craft sessions based on her books' themes and illustrations.
