"Thanks for this morning Kjartan. 50 people of all ages went home feeling good
and well entertained even though they'd been engaging with 2 hours of mathematics."

Letter from Caitlin of Greenock.
... we were expecting an old man
who would go on about times tables
and boring maths...
...after five minutes there was water in my eyes
from laughing so much...

E-mail to "Pongo McWhiffy" of the Murderous Maths books
Hello Pongo,
I think you are cool and I love the pearson who wrote the books that you where
in because he came to Brough primary school today and he made me cry with laughter.
Love Annabelle xxxx

BOOKING ENQUIRIES: Conferences - Festivals - Teacher Days
This page follows on from my author appearances page.
Thank you for showing an interest in what I do!
PLANNING A DAY
Before I agree to an engagement, I need a rough idea of how you hope to timetable the day, in particular what time you need me to arrive. Please bear these things in mind:
- Unless I'm doing a multi-day trip and staying overnight, I will be travelling from York on the day, probably by rail which means allowing for delays. It helps me if you have looked at National Rail Times to see what's practical and the different fares in the day.
- If you're a long way from York and only want a single session or show, afternoon or early evening is the best time to avoid overnight costs.
- If I'm doing more than one session I do not need overlong breaks between sessions.
- I'm always delighted to sign books if you are organising sales. Books on sale/return can be ordered at a discount directly from Scholastic along with a range of publicity materials. Please ask me for their current contact details.
FEES... depend on where you
are and what you want. Please use the link in the next paragraph to contact me, telling me where you are and giving me an idea of what you'd like me to do. If you are in a position to help promote my books (e.g. you're having a science or literature festival) then it may be possible to help with costs.
CONTACTING ME
Thank you for taking the trouble to read all this, and if you'd like to make an enquiry please use this address:
Boring but necessary...

- Flip chart with paper
- A working p.a. system
- A bottle of still water.
- If available: projector and screen for powerpoint
CRB and Enhanced disclosure form... is all useless. Happily this does not normally arise at festivals and conferences, but just in case someone has gone mad ... please read this!
