TESTIMONIALS<\/h2>\n

Thank you for a great talk last night. All the children who attended really enjoyed the experience. All the feedback forms reported the event to be \u2018Excellent\u2019.
\nEvent at the Jubilee Library, Brighton<\/strong><\/p>\n

The greatest successes were the e-mailing and the fact that the children got to meet an author: this was especially good for the children from this area as they would not get this opportunity in their everyday life. Nicky was a fantastic author to work with, I definitely would like to do this scheme again.
\nAdopt-an-Author, Manor Community College, Cambridge<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019d just like to say thank-you, a million-zillion times for choosing little old me to mentor! It\u2019s been truly fabulous! I never dreamed I\u2019d be mentored by a famous author. Correction, I did dream it, but they were dreams, only faraway wishes.
\nHannah, participant in The Write Stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

I just wanted to drop you a personal note to thank you so much for your fantastic\u00a0contribution to Book Week. Everyone who worked with you commented on the way you\u00a0engaged the children \u2013 and the fact that you could also work with the drama students was an\u00a0absolute gift! You did not seem to stop while you were here and gave over and above\u00a0everything that we asked.\u00a0All in all, not only did we think Book Week was a real success overall, but we felt that very\u00a0strongly about your particular contribution too, and I hope that we will be able to stay in\u00a0touch in the future.
