Visit from Author Colin Parsons

On Wednesday, author Colin R Parsons visited our school to share his experiences about his journey to becoming an author and provide us with tips about how to write creatively. He entertained us with stories from his books 'The Curious World of Shelley Vendor', 'Wizard's Kingdom' and ‘The Gamer’.  Colin explained how he was a reluctant reader at school, until reading the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe inspired him and opened a whole new world of imagination. This led him to write his own series of fantasy fiction books. At lunchtime, all pupils from Liverpool College were given the opportunity to meet Colin in person at a book signing event. The Welsh author then delivered a series of workshops throughout the day with Ch4, helping them to read with expression and understanding the precise details needed to create vivid mental pictures in the minds of his readers. Our thanks to Colin for his wonderful tips and inspiring personal story.
