I’m still planning some of my events and workshops, so if you’re looking for something specific, just ask. In the meantime, here’s a hint of what’s in store.
Talks and events

Assembly
1. Journey to the Stinking, Sinking Swamp (30 mins)
- Meet me

- Ask me anything about being a writer
2. 101 ways to be a writer
When I was growing up I thought there were only two ways to become a writer: be an author or be a journalist. But now I’ve worked as a writer for a good 15 years (and only become an author this year) I know that’s not true. So if your class is looking for some career inspiration meet me to:
- talk about lots of ways you can write for a living
- hear about a few writing jobs I’ve done
- have a go at being a business writer
- learn what it takes to get a book published
- ask me anything about being a writer.
