Workshops

I have several years of experience running both workshops for teens and adults. I work as a writing retreat coordinator for Writer's HQ, running monthly one day writing workshops for grown-ups who need the space to get writing done. I have also run workshops in school, most recently as the Writer-In-Residence for Xaverian College in Manchester.

Workshop Aim – I aim to engage writers and help them to overcome writing blocks, both in class at at home. Through a combination of brainstorming and writing sprint exercises, my writers will come away with a sense of achievement and will have banished the blank page!

Credentials – To add to my experience as outlined above, I also have an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Manchester. I have experience working with vulnerable young people and am in possession of a current, enhanced DBS check. See below for testimonials.

Availability – I am based in the North West of England, in High Peak. I am happy to travel anywhere within the UK to conduct workshops, or work through an online classroom/ video service such as Skype. I will have to charge travel expenses for workshops conducted more than one hour's drive from my home.

Booking – To book with me, or ask a question, please use the contact form attached to this website. My prices are largely negotiable for educational establishments and charities, and are charged on a sliding scale for repeat bookings. I look forward to hearing from you!
