World Book Day - Author & Illustrator Academy

 

Are you a budding author or illustrator? Need some advice or inspiration? The World Book Day Author & Illustrator Academy could be just what you are looking for.

What is the Author & Illustrator Academy?

The Author & Illustrator Academy beams authors & illustrators right into classrooms or homes so you can meet the creative minds behind your favourite books. Choose an Academy masterclass and then press play and let some brilliant authors and illustrators inspire you.

Each inspirational masterclass is a complete package with downloadable activities, creative challenges, resources and extracts to go with each video. They are available all year round so you can screen them in class or at home anytime.

Why not get your creative juices flowing using words and illustration with Joanna Nadin and Rikin Parekh, or merge words and pictures with Nadia Shireen. Let Michael Morpurgo help you find the seed of your story, or invent a fantasy business idea with Rashmi Sirdeshpande. 

You can learn to write your own adventure story with lots of ideas and tips from Sophie McKenzie, or let Ben Bailey Smith provide some inspiration to write your own funny but realistic scene. Explore how to make the world a better place with Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola, or go on a journey to make your wishes come true with Simon Farnaby.
