Want a workshop?

Picture
I run workshops in creative writing, stagecraft and presentation skills to a variety of audiences who have one thing in common — a need for self expression. I've worked with women, children and young people at risk using creative writing as a way of improving health and wellbeing, helping people overcome the barriers to self expression that formal education may have placed in the way.

A new series of workshops, called The Writing Well, is planned for September 2010, which takes place in Chester le Street.  These workshops are for people who want to use writing in a therapeutic way, for those who perhaps don't wish to share their feelings with others and who would rather write than talk.

Please contact me if you'd like me to run a one off workshop or a series of workshops in creative writing, stagecraft or presentation skills.
