talks and workshops
For high school we workshop how to grow a story from a single seed, including ideas about inspiration, character and structure, using flash fiction and black-out poetry.
For primary-age I teach students how to write a diary-style book. They develop a main character and a sidekick and we look at different plot-shapes.
My talks take students through the ups and downs of a writing career, including what I’ve learnt while working in four different roles in the book industry.
