David Millar

I've been teaching in Saudi Arabia for close to 15 years and have responsibility for English across the primary section of the school. I've always been a keen reader and have loved exploring children's fiction but this increased while in this role and also as a response to the lack of quality children's fiction available here. I have worked hard to discover new and diverse children's authors in order to guide and inform my pupils and in the process have begun to develop an itch to write my own novel. However, while I can teach writing to children, moving myself into more of a long form has shown some gaps in my knowledge and confidence, so here we are.
