talks and workshops
Tamsin’s interactive talks focus on her novels and the creative process. She discusses methods that kids can use to find inspiration for their own stories, illustrating how her time in Ghana inspired the Figgy books, and runs fun activities on how to make a story’s setting exciting and believable.
