WBD Digital Extravaganza
A Virtual Author Visit on the Most Popular Day of the Year
Every year, dozens of schools ask me if I can visit on World Book Day. As it's such a popular day I usually find that I'm booked far in advance and have to turn down so many schools who simply must have an author on that day and only that day!
TEACHERS! Sign up your school by emailing my admin assistant Jodie: jodieforjamescampbell@gmail.com
We did the first one on WBD 2024. Over forty schools zoomed in from all over the country. It was lots of fun.
We are now working on making things even better for 2025.
On Thursday the 6th of March, 2025 I will be basing myself in a small TV studio with a crew of technical folk. I will perform FOUR live shows over the course of the day. Each session will be just like the ones I do when I actually visit a school and will be aimed at different age groups. It will cost your school just £150 for the zoom link that allows you to tune in with as many individual classes as you like. Between the live sessions, my team will play specially pre-filmed videos in which I chat to other authors; my illustrators deliver drawing workshops; and answer all your questions.
A timetable for the day will be published in January 2025 but we are expecting to focus on James' new book Daphne and the Marmalade Cow which comes out in October 2024.
