Information for schools and libraries
Justin Somper has appeared at many of the top UK literary festivals, including Bath, Cheltenham, Edinburgh and Hay on Wye, as well taking part in events at the Globe Theatre, the Roald Dahl Museum and even aboard the Cutty Sark. He visits schools, libraries and bookshops as often as his hectic schedule allows.
Justin does a limited number of school and library visits each year. These are in high demand and early booking is recommended. For more information about fees and contact details please see the event checklist document below.
If you are hosting an event or discussing the Vampirates books in class or in a book group you might also find the discussion notes useful.

Thank you again for your visit. You really made an impression on the students. The books are constantly checked out. My bloggers have written several posts about your books and are now creating Vampirates "Glogs". They have deep discussions at lunch as to whom their favorite characters are.

Dear Justin, Thanks so much for coming to Saint Denis School in Havertown, Pa. the students LOVED you. After you left I had many students wanting to buy copies of the books. I also had many parents email and call me to tell me the kids cannot put the book down. thanksagian for a great afternoon. The students want to keep in touch and hope you come back to our school when book 5 is done.
