Author Visit - 18th February 2011

Author Julia Golding visited Burntwood in February. She spoke first to the FAB Reading Group, answering a variety of questions on being an author including how to get work published.

She then spoke to students in Years 7 and 8 about her new book, ‘The Glass Swallow’ and how the initial idea for the story came from the ‘credit crunch’, which made her think about a world where people exist by bartering goods and skills. Julia is a prolific writer of historical fiction and author of the very popular ‘Cat Royal’ series of books.
