Author Talks & Creative Writing Workshops

As a qualified teacher and published young adult author, I offer engaging, curriculum-aligned talks and creative writing workshops for secondary students.

With experience in both the classroom and the writing world, I understand how to connect with students at different ability levels and how to tailor sessions to meet the needs of your cohort.

Whether your focus is creative writing, narrative craft, publishing pathways, or building confidence in young writers, I can design a session that suits your goals.

Let’s Create Something That Inspires

If you’re looking to inspire young writers, deepen student engagement with literature, or provide practical writing skills they can apply immediately, I would love to work with your school.
