Candice frequently presents at writers’ festivals, libraries, schools and community events. She offers primary school students a relaxed, fun and interactive style of presentation where children are able to explore their creativity and expand on their writing skills through active participation.
Candice talks from personal experience about the writing and publishing process, shares readings from her work and encourages students to ask their own questions and discuss book and story ideas. She is also a qualified wildlife carer and incorporates this knowledge in presentations where relevant.
Candice’s workshops tie in with the National Curriculum and cover topics such as: character development; story structure; descriptive writing and translating ideas into stories. These workshops offer students the opportunity to contribute through group brainstorming. They are then able to expand on the ideas explored through their own personal application of concepts learned and discussed. Her use of physical tactile materials helps in this process.
Candice is also available for virtual presentations!
