Online Introduction
What I can do for you
Two options for engaging sessions for upper KS2 / lower KS3 students, each including a short presentation and reading, creative activities and an author Q&A. Also fits with PHSE curriculum.
Writing (extra-)ordinary stories
You don’t need magic or fantasy worlds to create an exciting story. Ideas for amazing stories are everywhere in our ordinary lives, if we know how to look.
Prejudice to Pride: Writing stories with LGBTQ+ characters
Books with LGBTQ+ characters used to be banned, now they are celebrated. What’s changed and why do LGBTQ+ stories still matter?
I also offer 30-minute workshops aimed at LGBTQ+ youth/school groups (Years 7-13) on finding your voice and discovering queer stories.
