Six writers will be visiting Our Lady's Abingdon next week, and nearly all of our students will have the opportunity to hear at least one author's talk. Two former pupils who are now published authors, Jo Cotterill and Rebecca Emin, will be talking about what makes them write and how they go about it. Dynamic scientist Christopher Lloyd will bring his 8m long wall book and a variety of objects to illustrate the history of science. Carnegie Medal winner Gillian Cross is revisiting OLA and will have three sessions, including a talk to pupils from local junior schools. Young author and Oxford University fellow, Katherine Rundell is also making a welcome return to OLA and will certainly make some new fans among Year 7, and give older pupils some of her advice about studying English at university.
On the evening of Wednesday 26th, we are hosting Clarissa Dixon Wright. Refreshments from 7.00 for 7.30. Tickets from Mostly Books in Abingdon.
