I write fiction and poetry for adults, children and young people. I also run writing projects and workshops in schools, in the community and for the general public. I run a regular group called Get Writing from the Mugen Tea Rooms on a Wednesday from 11am-1pm. I also work as a life coach, specialising in working with writers and other creative people. Sometimes I work as a consultant and trainer. I blog about my recent experiences of grief at https://griefwriting.blogspot....and am interested in developing more therapeutic writing courses. I am also planning to develop a creative hub for writers (and other creatives) in the near future and would be interested to hear from anyone who would like to help me to set up a new creative centre in Sheffield.
