Teachers - Parents - Pupils
STORYCRAFT PUBLISHING
We are the vehicle through which Northern Ireland author, John Magee, supports teachers, parents, and pupils to make life easier, more fun and, well... just plain better!
It doesn't matter whether you're seeking practical guides to supercharge reading, creative writing, and presentation skills; or looking for something more gloriously lighthearted; we have the solution.
Whatever you need, we're here to help.
To experience first-hand just how we do that, please download our FREE Fun Guide:
"What Every Year 7 Must Know Before Secondary School."
The guide will help any student to laugh their way through the nerves, doubts and even outright panic of moving to "The Big School." We’ll talk about what really happens on the first day, how to avoid total timetable confusion, where not to sit in the canteen, how to make friends without sounding like a malfunctioning robot, and why you should never, ever leave your PE kit behind a radiator (trust us).
Packed with real-life stories, survival tips, and ridiculous examples of what not to do, this guide will get students through their first year of secondary school with ease.
But don't keep it to yourself (you're better than that). Tell every Teacher, Parent and Pupil, so they can enjoy their FREE copy.
You want more freebies? Well, if you believe, like us, that English class is the bedrock upon which better lives are built, then you will not want to miss our FREE guide which explains why classroom sleep should be reserved for other more boring subjects (you know who you are);
"Why You Should Stay Awake in English Class."
This deceptively simple-looking little guide is packed with tips, examples, checklists, and fun exercises that will help readers see and understand exactly how English connects to everyone's future — no matter what that is going to look like.
Once again, don't keep it to yourself, let others in on the secret too - sharing is caring after all.
Both of the above guides are provided as our way of saying we're delighted you're here.
We know you can't wait to read the guides but don't rush off just yet. Take some time to look around at our other titles and see what floats your boat.
If you see a title that you think would make a friends life better then please use the handy social links below to let them know you were thinking about them.
As well as our series of guides and books; schools in Northern Ireland also have the opportunity to bring John Magee, kicking and screaming, into their school.
For details of our primary and secondary school visits please see here.
Regretfully, visit requests for John Magee outside Northern Ireland cannot be provided at this time.
Please take a moment to share Storycraft Publishing and make someone's life better!
