Promotional author visits
Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire
Spring 2026
Welcome to Julia Edwards Books!
Every year between New Year and Easter, Julia offers promotional visits and reduced cost workshops to schools in certain counties of the UK.
Having visited Norfolk twelve times since 2018, and Yorkshire three times in the last four years, she will be visiting Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire from Monday 2 to Friday 6 March 2026.
​Following a well-established pattern she has used around the UK in the last eight years, Julia is offering:
​
-
a one-hour free promotional visit for KS2 (no limit on numbers). This session is a whistle-stop tour through history, introducing Julia's Scar Gatherer series and featuring an abundance of quirky, fascinating and occasionally grisly facts from history. It also gives children a chance to test their historical knowledge in a format that is fun and engaging;
-
a half day of workshops (which includes the free promotional talk) reduced to £180 (usual rate £240);
​
-
a full day of workshops (which includes the free promotional talk) reduced to £305 (usual rate 380).
​
Each school (including schools who wish to book the promotional visit only) will need to contribute to Julia's accommodation and travel at a flat rate of £85 per school, so that her expenses are covered collectively.
​
NB: only full day bookings will be taken for World Book Day on Thursday 5 March.
