I have been teaching creative writing since 2010, working with adults old and young, teenagers and younger school children. I absolutely love it! There's no better feeling than helping people find the way to their words. 

 

WRITING ROOM 

I am delighted to be part of the fantastic team at Writing Room. I run Prioritise Your Writing and the Introduction to Creative Writing course, and I facilitate Feedback Fridays for WR students. I also run workshops, host readings and mentor writers working to complete their first manuscripts. 

​

WORKSHOPS AND COURSES

* Ghostmapping - creative workshops for teenagers in collaboration with local artists and photographers

* My Manifesto - a workshop for times of transition

* Human Rights speechwriting with Camden teens

​

TUTORING

I help 15 and 16 year olds get the most out of their GCSE English Language and Literature.

​

COPYWRITING AND EDITING

I also write and edit. In recent years I have worked on major website projects for Royal Holloway College and Brunel University London. 

​

MY OWN WRITING

I have published short stories, poems and creative non-fiction. My first novel was picked up by a soon-to-be agent of the year but didn't find a publisher.  

I have a novella in progress.
