The chance to meet James Hywel

Meet James and your favourite book characters

James Hywel rarely does ‘Meet the Author & Book Signing’ events.  He prefers to hide away, allowing his books to speak to the readers instead.  Because of this, his events are a very unique opportunity that are not to be missed. 

We welcome ODD SOCKS!

If you come along to any James Hywel event, remember to wear odd socks. The first child to say "James, I'm wearing odd socks"  wins a FREE signed book.

Let's all be proud to be different!

Schools

Let James work with your school

Live Literature School Residency

The Live Literature School Residencies programme gives schools the chance to work with James as an author-in-residence.

  • These in-depth writing workshops can be split into individual sessions and spread over several weeks. 
  • All sessions can be delivered remotely, in-person or with a combination of the two depending on your school's circumstances and location.
  • It is suitable for classes and after-school writing clubs.

The Albert Mouse Book for Schools Project

As part of his giving back wish, James is now giving primary school children the unique opportunity to create their own Albert Mouse story. Not only that, but James will take the story and produce a real book that will form part of the Adventures of Albert Mouse series.

This very special experience will allow pupils to follow every aspect of the book-writing process, from them creating a book title, right through to the pupils seeing their book published on Amazon. 

They will see how easy writing is, and maybe some pupils will be inspired to become authors when they leave school.
