I am available for workshops! I can run informal style interactive workshops with some writing exercises involved, and these have most recently been run via Zoom or, if you’re in the Nottingham area, I can do them face to face.
Thanks for earlier. Really interesting and changed my opinion about reading and how to do it and what can be got out of it.”
