Dear Harriet ,
I hope you’re having a lovely day! I’m just cleaning out my bookshelf so it can harbour new life and have come across ‘Gravenhunger’ after so many years of it sitting so neatly on the bottom shelf mixed in among all my Neil Gaimans. I met you 8+ years ago when I was in primary school, I remember the day vividly in some places and slightly patchy in others! But I do remember WANTING to go to school that day , I had always loved school – when I got there , getting me out of the house to go and getting me to leave at the end of the day were the hard parts. I remember sitting quietly and listening to you , letting you take up to a new world. You let us ask questions , and I can’t remember what I asked you even though I asked a lot of things , but I remember you being very patient , and very generous with what you told me. You signed my book and I fell in love with literature. You made me pay attention to English all through secondary school and allowed me to write and write and write. I did very well in my English GCSE’ and I’m now studying English at A level. Because of you. Because came , and you talked , and you made being an author a possibility with the worlds you created and shared with me. The clearest thing I remember from your visit {as you came twice : once for ‘Exit 43’ and a second time for ‘GH’} is that I felt alive with writing. I felt like I belonged. I felt like the pen and the paper , were the future. You gave me a spark to write and I am so so so grateful for that! I hope to meet you again one day to thank you in person!
If you have any advice , I’d love to hear it! Have a lovely day , big squishy cuddles –

Hi Harriet!
You genuinely left a lasting impression on me when you came to visit my primary school and I think that that is just magical that people can give you the spark to do the things you love! Im just going into year 13 so university will be the next steps I would think , I’m not too sure about where I would go or any specifics , I’ve looked into it a lot with the help of my college but it all seems a bit daunting!
I write short stories which I am always handing over to my teachers , I think they’d be able to fill a folder with them all if they collected them together I think they’re abit sick of me saying ‘please can you read this?’ ! I’ve got something I would love to turn into a novel but I fear it wouldn’t get red! Writing is the medium through which I preform best I think , and you’re right, it truly is so much fun! I love the idea of world building , where you can design and mould the world YOU want! Where things happen or don’t happen , and people who read it get to come along and live in it for a time.
Oh wow! You’re very welcome , that shelf is only for the best! He is brilliant , I haven’t red The ocean at the end of the lane , I’ve heard a lot about it, I’m currently reading a book by his wife Amanda Palmer called ‘The art of asking’ So I shall have to get my hands on a copy of it!
What are you reading at the moment if you don’t mind me asking ?

Hi Harriet!
Thank you so much for your advice, I just brought a new hardback notepad which I think would be lovely for a diary/Journal so I will give that a try! And I’ll also have to look into Mary Oliver and Wendy Cope as we are doing Carol Ann Duffy at college and I love the romantics but am keen to broaden my knowledge on other poets!
Thank you so much, have a lovely day!

hey Harriot
I don’t know if u remember but u came to my primary school {meadows} when I was in year 4 -2017,5th January- remember this amazingly and I have read boy who fell down exit 43 and gravenhunger. I appsuloltly loved reading them to be hoest with u I did like graven hunger more but boy who fell down exit 43 is still good
now I have messaged you a couple of times but Iv got a question to askCan you become an author at any age
how do you wright your drafts for your books by hand or on computerI have always had a dream for righting a book and don’t get me wrong I have about 3 note pads here at home full of storys idea and probably the first drafts so how do u pic the right idea
would it be possible to actually get a book published at the age of 12 if its at a high enough standed
thank you for your time for reading my comment and I whish you a happy new year and hope u had a nice Christmas
