NOTE: Due to an abundance of deadlines and personal circumstances, I am currently unavailable for visits and events. I hope to be able to connect with readers again soon, whether in-person or virtually!

I’m pleased to announce that I’m available for workshops, school and college visits, and festival and conference appearances!
IN PERSON EVENTS
I am happy to attend events in and around the Klang Valley (KL and Selangor), and would greatly appreciate a base honorarium that covers the cost of travel. I am also happy to travel locally, regionally and beyond if travel and accommodation are provided, on top of reasonable fees. I can speak on the following subjects (but we can also talk about what may be best for specific audiences!):
- Telling local stories to a global audience
- Building an international writing career
- The backstory and creation of my books
- Diversity and representation in kidlit
- My writing process
- My journey to publication
I can also set up creative writing workshops tailored to different age groups. Please feel free to drop me a message to discuss this further!

SKYPE VISITS
At this time, I’m offering free 30 minute Skype visits for classrooms and book clubs, wherever you are in the world! If possible, I do ask that groups read the book beforehand so we can make the most of that time — however, this isn’t a requirement!
*****
NOTE: I support equity and inclusivity in the world of books and beyond. Therefore, I am not available for any book events that discriminate against marginalised or underrepresented people, either on the page or off.
