Welcome to my site
My name is Sue Palmer and I write stories for children and run science and literacy workshops for schools.
I’m often asked where my ideas and inspiration come from. Some emerge from memorable childhood experiences; others spring from people observation. Most, however, are the products of transporting myself back to a time where almost anything was possible and real adventure existed.
On my website you can find information about my books and the subjects I’ve written about, read what I’ve been up to on my blog and find out more about me and why I love to write.

KS2 Science and Literacy Workshops
The May’s Moon trilogy follows 13-year-old Michael May in his quest to become the first child astronaut when he enters a competition run by NASA. Although fiction, the more I researched about our journeys into space, the more fascinated I became in space exploration. That’s why these stories include a substantial amount of space and science fact.
My research for this story has led me in many directions, from talking to astronauts to getting involved in STEM projects with primary schools. As well as being fantastic fun, this has provided me with a bank of information and resources about space travel and developments in science.
I have used these resources, together with a focus on developing writing skills, to put together three stimulating, interactive and educational workshops for KS2 classes.
