Overview
I will be hosting a very special 2020-21 Writing Series to motivate and provide a new type of support to your creative writing.
Each workshop takes the form of a masterclass committed to a specific approach to writing. They provide a fast-track delivery and door opener on specific topics and aim to kickstart or deepen new developments within your ongoing practice.
Exchange your ideas and spark discussions in this informal and productive workshop setting.
Prepare to be open and engaged in a welcoming and creative environment. You’ll finish the workshop feeling refreshed, confident and excited to try new writing and working techniques.

My Experience
I have over 20 years of experience teaching writing and art practices in universities and art colleges across the world. I have held appointments at Kings College London, Dartington College of Arts, Bard College Summer Program, Temple University Philadelphia, School of Art and Design Geneva. In many of my roles, I have been responsible for curriculum development, research supervision and have structured as well as taught writing and interdisciplinary courses. As a Fellow for institutions such as Cambridge University, Whitechapel Gallery London or the Gray Center for the Arts Chicago, I have been invited to create writing-led public events.
As well as undertaking teaching and lecturing roles, I often work with external organisations to host in-person and online workshops with artists and writers looking to hone and develop their craft.
Recently, I have also taken the decision to offer 1-2-1 mentoring, where I will be offering hour-long sessions to writers and artists of all levels who would like more personal discussion and support. If you think this might be more like what you are looking for, please head to my mentoring page.
