I’m pleased to announce that I have just renewed the contract with Story House for the TV/film rights to the Sprite Sisters. They have interest from Amazon Prime, so all fingers crossed that Sprites make it to production. Long way between an option and production! Will need all the Sprites’ magic powers!

LKS2 Writing Workshop ‘The children loved hearing about the Sprite Sisters. Sheridan talked about story writing and the children used their jotters to write down ideas for storyline, character and setting. The children are doing a Big Write on Friday . . . [They] enjoyed the writing workshop and were buzzing when they came out. Every copy of the Sprite Sister books has now been taken out of the library.’ How did the visit meet you expectations? Fully
‘There was a positive impact on the girls with their writing and their ambition to be professional writers, Seeing another positive female role model inspired them also.
