Author Presentations
I offer Author Visits in person, or on Zoom to children aged 8-12yrs, to secondary school students and to adult groups.
During my talk I share about my secret dream to become a writer (despite finding spelling difficult) my very long journey to publication and the story behind my children's books, The House on Hawthorn Road and The Spirit of Loughmoe Abbey.
I talk about how I was bullied in school and how writing helps deal with anxiety and ADHD. At the end I give plenty of time for questions and answers.
My author visits aim to inspire attendees to follow their passion. If you feel the nudge to pursue something - then do it!
I talk about the ups and downs of my life and my self doubts about becoming a writer.
I relate the story of writing stories for fifteen years - and never giving up - until I finally got published. It happened quite by chance when I had given up all hope!
My message is that everyone is original and unique, and it is important to follow what is in our hearts regardless of what anyone else thinks.
- I am happy to talk to small or very large groups (several hundred).
- To date I have received excellent feedback from schools and libraries.
I discuss bullying, anxiety and neurodivergence and share tools that calm my mind: reading, writing stories, and keeping a journal.
I discuss time travel and ghost stories and give my top tips on how to write creatively.
I always give time for lots of questions about writing and anything else.
- My author visit lasts approx 60 mins.
- can do up to two visits on the one day.
- I am open to working with large groups.
Testimonials
Thank you so much for your wonderful and engaging presentation today. Your talk was so inspiring from start to finish. You could see how interested the boys were from their questions and your story is one that most definitely will inspire them going forward in whatever dream they follow."
The event with Megan Wynne was fantastic. Megan really captured the imagination of the children and was very engaging.
The children really enjoyed the event. She would definitely be an author we would welcome again in Pearse Street!
Megan's talk was both entertaining and inspiring to the children and teachers alike. She has the ability to speak to the children in a very mature yet child friendly way. The anecdotes about her life were both funny and thought provoking which captured the children's attention. Her passion for reading and writing is infectious."
