Welcome to Julia Edwards Books!
EPIC
Writing Days
Enthusiasm ~ Pride ~ Imagination ~ Control
Julia has taught writing workshops in schools for over a decade, making over 180 visits to schools since her first book was published, and working with over fifteen hundred children on the Patron of Reading scheme.
Her most recent Patron of Reading school, Amesbury Archer Primary, has asked her to create a new series of workshop days for 2025/26, to share with other schools in their academy trust and beyond. In response, Julia dreamt up EPIC Writing Days.
What are EPIC Writing Days?
EPIC Writing Days are day-long workshops for primary schools, specifically designed to stretch ARE pupils and challenge GD children.​ The focus for EPIC days is on comic writing to entertain.
Who are EPIC Writing Days for?
EPIC Writing Days are for groups of up to 20 pupils, either ARE or GD, depending on the day, coming from different schools to spend the day at a local host school.
How does this work?
Amesbury Archer is hosting series of 6 EPIC Writing Days across the 2025/26 academic year, arranged in 3 pairs of days:
-
Tuesday 25 November 2025: Upper Key Stage 2 ~ Greater Depth

How much does it cost?
