On the 24th of Febuary, a group of s1 and S2 pupils visited Doon Academy, to see author, Catherine Forde. Pupils listnened to her talk about her books, and how they are inspired by real life events and people. She also advised aspiring young writers to tidy up, to clear the mind!

One S2 pupil said, “I really enjoyed it. It was really interesting and made me want to become an author! It was also helpful to get some tips on my own writing.” Catherine Forde then signed several books for her readers.
