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 the relevant links below.

You will be able to watch the event live on the dates specified below, 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.

For further information and how to register to take part in one of the events please click on the author's name.

 

Would you like to be our live studio audience?

If you would like to bring a group of no more than 30 pupils along to the BBC in Glasgow for any of our Children's Authors Live events please email heather.collins@scottishbooktrust.com, stating your interest, the number and age group of your pupils. All pupils must have a signed media authorisation form which includes permission for footage of them to appear on YouTube. You need to cover the cost of your transport to and from the event. Please note we are not looking for an audience for the Philip Pullman event as this is taking place in London.
