For this year's Wonder of Words Festival we have again managed to provide a brilliant line-up of author events, featuring some of the hottest authors currently writing for children and young adults (and one scorching hot illustrator). We are very excited to be hosting Abi Elphinstone, Tamsyn Murray and The Etherington Brothers and we believe we have a programme which has a little something for everyone.
Programme
The Etherington Brothers 11.00am-12.00pm
Brothers Robin & Lorenzo Etherington are the creators of Long Gone Don, Baggage, Monkey Nuts, Von Doogan & YORE! Their work appears regularly in The Phoenix comic and they have also worked on The Dandy, Transformers, Star Wars, Wallace & Gromit, Dreamworks, Monsters vs Aliens and Madagascar
comics.
In Lost & Found, their first workshop of the day, they will focus on story creation and the six steps to making awesome comics stories and art. A must for lovers of comics of all ages.
Tamsyn Murray 12.30-1.30pm
We are very excited to be welcoming Tamsyn Murray to WoW 2015. Tamsyn is the author of the Stunt Bunny series and YA supernatural romance series My So-Called Afterlife. Completely Cassidy is her new series for pre-teens and will have you giggling until you (quite possibly) burst. Tamsyn promises hula hooping, plate spinning and balloon modelling in her Completely Cassidy event.
The Etherington Brothers 2.00-3.00pm
The Big Adventure Show. In this, their second event of the day, Robin & Lorenzo Etherington will focus on how to create an original adventure from start to finish. As with all of their workshops, it promises to be an exciting, funny
and creative show for comic lovers of all ages.
Abi Elphinstone 3.30-4.30pm
Don’t miss your chance to meet Abi Elphinstone, the writer of The Dreamsnatcher, a book that many are already calling one of the best books of 2015. The Dreamsnatcher is a classic tale of good versus evil and is full of magic, adventure, and really nasty villains.It is perfect for fans of J.K. Rowling, Michelle Paver and Eva Ibbotson.
