Resources for Schools

I have created a number of practical worksheets to inspire students and improve their skills. Copies of these are left with the school, regardless of the workshops I'm asked to run.

I’ve crafted a new and fun talk for years 3 to 7 about my novel GOING HOME, about four dogs stuck in a rescue centre.
I discuss the novel as well as my experiences of working with my own and Battersea dogs. This includes funny and poignant stories, and an exercise in imaginative thinking. 

Here's a fairy tale in the Oscar Wilde tradition. I hope you enjoy it.

My U.S. publisher Carolrhoda have also produced an excellent guide for Savannah Grey .

If you would like me to come to your school, library or festival please email me to discuss fees and the kind of visit that will best suit you at cliffmcnish@hotmail.com

The whole year have had follow up lessons in story construction, which have been very effective with good outcomes. Quite frankly, we all enjoyed the day so much. You were wonderful. Head of English, Guilsborough School, Northampton.

It was great having you in school. The students have all been talking about your books. I would love to invite you back next year. Headmistress, Marner Primary School, Tower Hamlets
