In March 2021, the author Tom Palmer produced a video for Rood End Primary. The following questions were generated by the pupils themselves:

• What was the first book/story that you produced? Did it get published?
• How long did it take you to write your first story? Did you ever feel like giving up?
• How did you become a writer? When did you realise that this is your career?
• Why did you become an author?
• If you were not an author, what job would you have and why?
• Which authors inspire you?
• What would you say to a boy/girl who wants to be an author when they grow up?
• How do you continue to come up with new ideas for stories?
• Why do you use football/sport as the starting point for many of your books?
• If you had to go back in time, would you change anything in one particular book?
• Who is one of your favourite characters in any of the books that you have written?
• Do you prefer writing children’s books or adults’ books?
• Favourite genre?
• Where do you write your books?
• Out of all your books, do you have a particular favourite?
