Workshops

For me sentences don't just drop out of thin air - they require a process. I give workshops that share my excitement for experimenting with playful and often collaborative methods for producing text.

I host:

• - Creative writing workshops for all levels
• - Thematic workshops for festivals and institutions
• - Mission and vision statement writing for collectives, organisations and groups

For several years I hosted writing workshops in collaboration with artist Dani Williamson through a self-founded network called Queer futures Writing Lab, exploring feminist speculative fiction.

These workshops often explore a specific theme (eg. water, queerness, belonging) but never treat these themes as purely subject matter - rather as a quality that can infuse and translate into the writing process. So instead of writing about queerness, how do we write queerly? If we are writing about water, how do we write as water?

And at the end of the day, the hardest part about writing for most people is usually just doing it. I find workshops a very rewarding way of simply holding space for people to create and share something and that's often enough for something exciting to emerge.
