Hello!

You’ll find all kinds of stuff here: poems, music, writing tips, an interview – as well as information on my work in schools and at libraries and literary festivals.

A Buzz for Literacy!

Want someone to come into your school and get your children excited and fired up for writing? Then look no further!

Every school should have a visit from James Carter!

Book me now for a school visit or event. I can get very busy during term time, so please allow a number of possible dates if you can.

All the books on this website are currently available from Amazon. Clicking on a book cover will take you straight to the right page at amazon.co.uk (apart from Hey Little Bug! which is currently out of print – sorry!)

Is your web browser bang up–to–date?

This website has been built using some of the latest whizz–bang–poppery, and is best viewed using an up–to–date browser. The bloke that built it suggests using the latest version of Firefox or Safari – but it’ll work just as well in the latest version of Internet Explorer. Sadly, earlier versions of Internet Explorer are not supported, so if your browser is version 7 or less and the site looks a bit wonky, blame Microsoft, not me!
