Inspiring author Seth Burkett visits Liverpool College

Breaking all stereotypes, Seth Burkett is an author with a difference. As a young, professional footballer, who played for Brazil, Seth was inspired by the autobiographies of Vinnie Jones and Peter Crouch and began to realise that you don’t need to choose between being sporty or being a writer – you can do both. He shared his experiences both as a ghost writer and as a children’s author. His inspiring story of rejection and resilience was truly inspirational. Throughout his visit, Seth ran a series of Writing workshops with pupils from Chapter 5 and Chapter 7, giving his top tips and tricks for creative writing.
