When I’m not writing, I regularly visit schools around the world and work with organisations including the National Literacy Trust, Royal Society of Medicine and UNICEF to try to improve the lives of children.

If you would like me to visit your school or organisation, please email info@authorsalouduk.co.uk. Schools have described me / my visits as “engaging, entertaining and enlightening” (QSI International School of Chengdu, China), “One of the best visitors we have ever had in” (English Martyrs’ Catholic Voluntary Academy), and “the pupils still talk about it two years on!” (Bristol Grammar School). More testimonials here.

I’ve run workshops with groups of 10-125,000 and have spoken / performed at the Royal Society of Medicine, Royal Institution, British Museum, London School of Paediatrics, Wigmore Hall, Globe Theatre, BlackRock, Centre for Literacy in Primary Education, Northern Ireland Science Festival, Latitude Festival, Glasgow’s Aye Write!, Bath Music Festival, The Good Life Experience, York Festival of Ideas, Cheltenham Science and Cheltenham Literary Festivals.

For literary enquiries, please contact Caroline Walsh at David Higham for children’s writing, Imogen Pelham at Marjacq for adult’s and Leah Middleton for TV / film.

If you’re interested in love related broadcast / events, you might find my showreel helpful.
