Feedback from your Author Event

Giving feedback can help focus you on how the children benefitted from the author event.

How did the class enjoy the author visit? Has it encouraged the children to read any more of the authors' books? Did it help motivate the children in their own creative writing? Research like this can help inform future visits and ensure that more visits are budgeted for.

It can be useful for the author to know which parts of the visit worked best for the children, to help them plan any future school visits. Feedback like this can be given during the day - and authors always love to hear from schools that enjoyed their event. You can share positive feedback on social media, and authors often value comments that they can use on their website.

Authors often develop close links with specific schools and strengthening your links with specific authors can help get more from reading their books; do you want to consider a follow-up visit with the author?
