Creative Writing for Teens

As a teenager, working with a published and successful author helped build my confidence and allowed me to find my voice.
I am willing to facilitate creative writing workshops for teens - ideally Key Stage 4 or 5.
Workshops can be arranged in a school/ youth club settings and run for hour long sessions over a minimum of six weeks. 
By the end of the six weeks, students will have written and polished to a high standard at least one piece of work.
Pupils will receive group and, where appropriate, one to one, mentoring.
Specific themes can be tailored to suit the individual needs of the group.

From page to publication
​

Delivered as either a half day, full day, or six week course - From Page to Publication will work with budding novelists to offer support and advice on getting that first draft finished, polishing their work, preparing for submission and overcoming those pre-submission nerves.
The course will provide advice on plotting, pacing, characterisation - along with practical advice on preparing for submission to either agents or publishers.

This course can be tailored to suit the needs of individual groups.

Along with hard work, I promise to make it the best of craic - helping writers overcome their fears in a friendly and supportive fashion.

Life Story Work

As a journalist of 17 years experience, my favourite thing about my career was listening to people tell their stories, and helping them turn those experiences into the written word.
I feel helping people own their own stories helps them to deal with difficult experiences in life - and life story work allows me to combine my journalism skills and creative writing skills to capture those moments people most want or need to share.
