Students from across Cambridgeshire were treated to a special visit from best-selling author AF Steadman, hosted by Stephen Perse Cambridge

More than 300 students from across Cambridgeshire have enjoyed a visit from best-selling author AF Steadman.

Hosted by Stephen Perse Cambridge, the author event builds on a long-running partnership with North Cambridge Academy, which was formed in 2019 to help tackle inequality in the region and create more educational pathways for students within the local community.

During her visit, AF Steadman, who read languages and law at Selwyn College and wrote the best-selling Skandar series, spoke to students about her experience as an author before hosting an exclusive meet-and-greet where she signed their books and posed for photographs.

“It was amazing to meet the author of a book I’ve read and loved,” said Stephen Perse Cambridge year 7 student Whitney. “It helped me understand how she found ideas for stories and how to write a book.”
