Anthony Horowitz Virtual Event

On Friday May 15th we hosted our first ever Virtual Author Event with the brilliant Anthony Horowitz. With generous support from the Scottish Arts Council we were able to broadcast the Q&A session to 11,000 children in over 250 schools across Scotland. Hundreds of pupils also watched the event through GLOW, the Scottish schools intranet hosted by Learning and Teaching Scotland. Questions from schools throughout Scotland were put to Anthony by Lindsey Fraser, co-director of Fraser Ross Associates and former director of Scottish Book Trust.
