Writing and literature tutor with 15 years’ experience of working with writers of all levels and backgrounds, aged 8 to 80. After setting up the Charleston Life Writing Programme in 2019, it has continued to run for 6 sold-out years and grown to two classes a week. I’ve been part of The Creative Writing Programme faculty for 10 years, now delivering courses online (spaces available for October 2025). I have also been a guest teacher and lecturer for organisations including Jericho Writers, New Writing South, University of Massachusetts Lowell, the Festival of Writing at York University, and run workshops at various festivals and events. I also work with children of all abilities in primary and secondary schools.
