Winterfold House School – Author Annie Muscutt Visits

08 Jun 2017

On Tuesday 9th May, Author Annie Muscutt led an imaginative creative writing workshop with Year 6 pupils from Winterfold House School, Chaddesley Corbett

Annie Muscutt, who has been a Reception class teacher at the school for the last 7 years, first started writing as a child but it wasn’t until she was a younger adult that Mrs Muscott began writing more seriously with the hope of later publication. She had her first novel ‘Eringuild’, an exciting, magical, fantasy adventure for older children published in the summer of 2016. The author’s latest novel ‘The Devil Within’ is a thriller set in early 20th century Britain in the unnoticed countryside. The novel is available in paperback and on Amazon Kindle.

Mrs Muscutt said “Writing is a creative passion of mine and I am delighted that my second novel has been published”. I’m pleased to have had the opportunity to share my writing skills with Winterfold pupils. It was great to explain the creative process and how a book can begin from a few ideas. There was some impressive, creative thought in brainstorming sessions and we explored characters and the importance of book descriptions in terms of hopefully capturing an audience. Both novels have served as a useful comparison to show different types of writing within genres and the possibilities for a writer to follow where their inspiration takes them”.
