The Secret Life of an Author, with Karen McCombie!

Join Dyslexia Scotland and bestselling author Karen McCombie as she spills the beans about…

  • how ‘brain noodling’ can turn into book ideas
  • why reading and writing were a struggle for her as a child
  • what very silly thing she does when she gets writer’s block
  • which book award was her favourite (clue: it was crunchy!)

There’ll also be a chance to ask Karen any nosey question you want, plus a cool competition to win personally signed books!

Karen is the best-selling author of more than 100 books for children, including many for dyslexia-friendly publisher Barrington Stoke. Find out more at www.karenmccombie.com

This 45 minute event is aimed at children with dyslexia aged approximately 8 - 12. It will take place on Zoom and children should be accompanied by an adult. Please have paper and pen on hand.

A Zoom link will be sent on the morning of the event.  It will not be recorded. Only one ticket needed for an adult and child/children.
