Writing and reading programmes for curious minds of all ages.
One-to-one and small group sessions designed to unlock storytelling confidence. We cover structure, voice, and how to make a reader snort-laugh on a bus without warning them first. Suitable for ages 10 and up.
Weekly group sessions exploring a shared text — fiction, memoir, or the occasional deeply strange short story that nobody can quite explain. Discussion-led. No essays. No homework. Just books and biscuits.
Early reading and writing support for children aged 5 to 9. Sessions are playful, structured, and designed for children who have decided that reading is "not for them" — a claim we take as a personal challenge.
For students and adults who want to write and then actually say the thing out loud in front of people without their legs going. Covers writing for performance, pacing, and not saying "um" seventeen times in one sentence.
For adults with a story worth telling and no idea where to start. We work through memory, structure, and tone over six weekly sessions. Previous participants have described the process as "unexpectedly emotional" and "cheaper than therapy, probably."
Half-day and full-day writing workshops for schools, libraries, and community groups. Tailored to curriculum needs or completely off-curriculum if that's what the situation calls for. Enquire for pricing and availability.
