Engagements & Events

I love writing. And I love talking about writing. Bringing people together to learn and to share is what gets me up in the morning. I run the Northern Writers Studio, mentor emerging writers and lead workshops.

​

I also love to learn and am keen to broaden my skills across facilitation, mentoring and residencies.

I have an enhanced DBS and experience working with adults and young people in a range of settings. If you want to talk about working together, get in touch.
