"...a big success, both students and staff had a great time and were instantly drawn in by Fran Stanton’s story and listened with complete attention. Our students were thrilled to ask Olivia questions about being an author and the whole process of creating a novel."

“She gave us very helpful tips for creative writing, which we will all be grateful for and use in our writing in the classroom.”
“Overall, listening to a talk and participating in a workshop with Olivia Levez was undoubtedly a beneficial experience. She is definitely somebody to look up to and listening to her talk about how she became an author was inspiring for many of us.”
“She spoke about the characters and bits of the plot and read an extract, which was gripping and certainly made me want to read the entire book.”
Student, Mulberry School for Girls
"Olivia was really entertaining and immediately involved the students. She had a variety of props and techniques which were fun for the students too. It was fantastic to see the way author and audience engaged throughout the hour talk. This was an author visit that kept the children talking about it for ages afterwards. A very successful event."

“It’s inspiring for students to hear how success can be achieved through dedication and determination.” Hannah Talbot, Head of English and Specialist Leader in Education at South Bromsgrove High School
