Children's Authors Live

The centrepiece of the Meet Our Authors programme is a series of live events featuring household name authors talking to a live audience whilst being filmed and broadcast simultaneously over the internet. You can sign up to take part in these events, run in partnership with BBC Scotland Learning, by clicking on the authors' names or images below.

To watch past Authors Live Events again, click here. You will find events with authors including the following there:

Michael Rosen, Julia Donaldson, Michael Morpurgo, Charlie Higson, Jacqueline Wilson, Andy Stanton, Liz lochhead, James Mayhew, Eoin Colfer, Kjartan Poskitt and David Almond

You will be able to watch the events live on the dates specified, or watch them again a few days after each event. The events will remain on the Scottish Book Trust website until at least March 2012 to enable you to watch them again as well as use them with your class during a lesson when it suits you!

This project is funded by the National Lottery through the Scottish Arts Council Inspiring Communities Fund.
