School visits

"They enjoyed hearing how she put the book together and could all talk about editing and peer marking and I will remind them of some of her tips e.g. reading their work aloud whilst editing. They had lots of questions particularly about her favourite books and authors growing up."

"Great to see 'real' authors edit."

"Milk and Cookies was great revision for our year sixes! It led to lots discussion about the science we had covered and if Emma had more time with us we would have loved to share some of our knowledge. It was also great for them to hear about the writing process from a real author!"

"We really enjoyed Lily the Limpet! It is a book we would love to use as part of our topic next term and maybe we can share our work with Emma."

"The children loved the session - the story, the background and the tactile shells."

"Can fully recommend Emma Rosen, both as an author and a visitor to schools. She was kind enough to come to school for our careers week today and talked about her writing and her work on marine biology. She was amazing with the kids and really adaptable. If anybody in a local school wants an author visit I would massively recommend her."

"Emma is very engaging and captures the children's imaginations."

"Having Emma visit increased the student's confidence in speaking to a new adult. It promoted reading for a range of abilities and encouraged students to think about their careers. The students responded positively meeting somebody who has a different career and it encouraged some students to talk more confidently about new aspirations."

"All children enjoyed and engaged with the session. Even the most anxious learners engaged, wrote and wanted to share their writing with peers."

"Engaging and inspiring. Children will feel inspired hearing stories from the author to write their own."
