James Killgore - Author Visit

Last Friday, James Kilgore came to talk to us for an hour about his new book, Soldiers Game. It is a novel about a football mad boy in the present and his grandfather who was a soldier in the past. James presented an extremely interesting and engaging Powerpoint about the truthful origins about his book, the story of his book, himself and even included some useful tips for our writing. He started off by telling us about himself and his books, this provided a very interesting insight into his world of writing. He then told us about his book and how he wrote it. It was a good book for a talk because it had a great background story to it which was extremely interesting to listen to. After this, he gave us a very interesting talk on the history of the Heart of Midlothian football team and their involvement in the second world war. To finish off, he gave us a few handy tips for our writing as a whole. Overall, it was a highly engaging and interesting talk and I would like to thank James on behalf of the whole of S2.

Thank you to James Witherspoon of 2E for his review of the visit.  if you would like to read a review of the book Soldiers Game have a look here.
