Author Visits
Author visits are an amazing way to inspire children to enjoy reading and writing for pleasure. Often author visits create a buzz for reading and encourage children to engage with stories and begin to create themselves.
Chitra visits schools, libraries and festivals across the world to bring the joy of creative writing and storytelling to children everywhere.
Her workshops are interactive and collaborative and encourage children to see beyond what they have read and tap into their own imaginations to reach for those nuggets of fancy that bring stories to life.
“Chitra Soundar was a wonderful guest speaker. Her presentation was detailed, engaging and had a huge impact on the pupils’ progress. They all were able to use the information they gained from the workshop to develop their own children’s books.
We will most certainly be in contact about possible visits in the future.”
“I am thrilled you enjoyed your visit to our school on Tuesday. It was our pleasure to have you.
Our students and teachers loved having you around, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from you.
We are excited to welcome you back next
school year.”
“Thank you so much for the event on Saturday, we’ve had some lovely feedback from the families that took part and they really loved your workshop. The children had such fun and seemed to find it very inspiring.”
“It was an absolute pleasure having you here! There was such a buzz amongst the LS students after your sessions, and the teachers are reporting that the sessions were engaging and enjoyable. You brought new inspiration and a new voice and lots of laughter to our school, as well as sparking the idea of being a writer and author with our students.”
