Workshops and courses
I was awarded my Doctor of Creative Arts (DCA) in 2017 and I have nearly twenty years’ experience as a senior lecturer in Creative Writing at undergraduate and postgraduate level. I’ve also delivered many workshops in libraries and at writers’ festivals. I am always happy to tailor friendly, inclusive workshops for groups at all levels of experience. Please contact me for more information.
I’m judging the Wells Festival of Literature Short Story Competition this year. The Festival takes place on 17-25 October 2025. Info here
My next workshop is an hour-long, free-to-join session on ‘First Pages’ at Goldfinch Books, Alton (or online) on 7 December 2025. Book here
