Workshops and Residencies

I take on residencies and run creative writing workshops in community and school settings.

Almost an island?

I am currently writer in residence on the Greenwich Peninsula, along with the fantastic poet and writer, Aoife Mannix. We are blogging about the project at the Almost an Island blog.

Other, recent work includes:

Spread the Word

Taster creative writing workshops for Spread the Word's Write Next Door project in Redbridge, East London. Participants' work was showcased at an event at the Broadway Theatre in Barking, and published in an anthology, available from Spread the Word.

Write Now and Then

These workshops were organised as part of All Change's Write Now and Then project, inspiring young people in Islington about the rich literary heritage of their Borough. I worked with a film and a performance artist, running workshops with year 8 students at Holloway School and year 11 students at Mount Carmel School. You can visit the project website, and obtain a copy of the Write Now and Then digital book by contacting All Change on 020 7689 4646 or via email.

Cross Country

As part of An Exploration in Rural Art Practice, Public Works' residency at Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire, I ran a guided walk and writing workshop exploring personal responses to place.
