Tesimonials - 'I would 100% recommend an author visit from Joffre, his visit captivated our Year 7 students and our guests from Tor Bridge Primary. His passion was contagious and inspirational.’ Tor Bridge High Librarian, Plymouth.
PriMARY SCHOOL PARENT, WILTSHIRE.
Dear Joffre, my boys were in the audience today, and I can't tell you what an impact you had on them.
I have never ever heard them so enthusiastic about school, especially English, it is both their most disliked subject! They were truly inspired, and absolutely loved listening to you. They both find structured writing difficult, so being told about a method for allowing ideas to grow fluidly gave them hope that they'd be able to be use those methods to get their ideas down on paper more easily and creatively.
Thank you so much.
"Joffre visited St Pauls Primary School, Chippenham and held a hall full of pupils enthralled for a whole hour. His passion and enthusiasm for children's writing is infectious. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any teachers looking to spark creative writing with their class"

"It was an absolute pleasure to have you in our school. The Power of Words assembly was inspirational. You engaged the girls and boys alike and made them reflect, think and aspire. We were impressed with how mesmerized they all became from the word go. The fiction writing workshops were a blast! They were educational and fun at the same time. You delivered them brilliantly, pitching the subject spot on and tapping into our students’ personal experiences. Even the most reluctant writers threw themselves in. It was a joy to watch. "

"What can I say? - the response to your visit has been phenomenal! Never have I had so many teachers, parents and children say so many positive things about an author visit. The enthusiasm you have for writing and the motivational messages you bring about reading are spot on - and have visibly inspired the children with their own reading and writing."

"We thought that you were wonderful, awesome and inspiring; just what we all needed to lift the spirits at the start of the new school year.
You connected brilliantly with your audience in a 'down to earth, bloke in the street' way which made the 'job' of author seem possible, not something that some wealthy, privileged individuals get to do because they know the right people. For some children who may think that getting work in the local supermarket is their only option in life, this can be truly eye-opening. Writing books for a living is incredibly cool!"

"Thank you once again for visiting us at Wedmore Primary School, you gave an inspiring presentation, pitched at just the right level and I have already recommended you to other schools in our area. Several children have talked repeatedly about what you said.
My favourite comment from one of my children (Poppy) was...."I didn't really like books before, now I will look harder."
