Watch Authors Live with these BBC webcasts

Posted: 13 Sep 2012 10:00 AM PDT

The BBC has published a set of free videos that feature ‘some of the biggest names writing books for children today’. Fourteen full webcasts are available, featuring Oliver Jeffers, David Walliams, Francesca Simon, Eoin Colfer, Jacqueline Wilson, Charlie Higson, Michael Morpurgo, Julia Donaldson, Michael Rosen and a number of other authors!

The full webcasts are about 40 minutes long, but they have also been split into 109 shorter clips that you can show, in your lessons. Thanks to Peter Richardson and Simon Haughton for recommending this site on Twitter.
