Guy Bass

Events

Guy’s enthusiasm was infectious and his ability to hold the attention of 150 children was astonishing. The amount of energy and effort that he put in to his event was a real credit to him – if all events were like his, it’d be a bookseller’s dream!

Guy is always up for getting out of the house, whether it be a book festival or school visit. See below to find out where he’s gone and where’s he’s going. If you’d like to get in touch with Guy to book him for an event, please email guy@guybass.com and he’ll get back to you as soon as he can.

Here’s what people have been saying about Guy’s events:

Guy was absolutely brilliant last week. I haven’t felt so excited about an author for younger readers since Andy Stanton. And I mean that! The children at Beech Hyde mobbed him as he was leaving (I have never seen anything like this before).

Andrea Goodall, the St Albans Book Group

Thanks for a great day’s work – you left a lot of kids very enthused!

Martin Stone, Greenwich Libraries

Just had to drop you a line to say thanks for entertaining my two sons at Latitude Festival – they are now totally protected against Zombaliens and have spoken about little else since!

Debbie Beckwith, Nathan and Edward’s Mum

Thank you for coming and making me laugh. You are amazing!

Megan, Beech Hyde School

I had a fab time. Thank you for being so funny. I love your book, it is the best!

Abigail, Beech Hyde School

Dear Guy Basst, I like you because you’re sometimes funny.
