"That's quite a story!" said her mother. "It's not a story, it's true," said Josie.

BOOK Signing EVENTS and a 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!
Writing Workshops for children
James will be presenting some 'Writing Workshops' for children aged 9+.
In these Writing Workshops, James will explain how he writes and shares his secrets on writing that first page, creating characters, adding twists that the reader wasn't expecting and much more. So if you have ever wanted to write a story of your own, now is your chance to learn from the author who has written over twenty books.
James always has FREE items to give away and children will be invited to 'sign the chair'.
Parents can also buy signed copies of his books.
Writing Workshops for adults
James will be presenting some 'Writing Workshops' for people who are thinking of becoming a writer or have started their first book and just need some help and guidance.
In these Writing Workshops for adults, James will explain how he writes and shares his secrets on writing that first page, creating characters, adding twists that the reader wasn't expecting and much more.

Here's a question.........
What's the 'Chair Signing' all about?
On the 18th of August 2022, James took his deckchair to a book reading event.
He then asked the children to write their names on it. When it is full of names the chair will be auctioned off and all the proceeds will be going to When you wish upon a Star.
James will then start the whole process again with another chair.
