I am a qualified teacher with an enhanced CRB check. I am available for school visits, literary festivals, any event. I'll do author talks, workshops, readings or all three.

My current workshop is entitled Gory Stories and is based on traditional ballads (gory and spooky ones of course!). Because the workshops are based around Mortlock, they are appropriate for children in years 5 & 6 or in Key stage 3. I am happy to deliver writing workshops to Keystage 4 and beyond.
