My Creative Writing Workshops
Author talks and creative writing workshops for schools deliver real results for students. The talks deliver real life lessons, based on a life that I'm grateful to say has had its fair share of adventure and danger. While the writing workshops deliver practical principles and techniques students can use and adapt from that day on.
Who are the author talks aimed at?
Primarily years 7 to 9 (KS3) but also regularly includes KS2 and KS4.
What is the focus?
The emphasis is on encouraging students, particularly boys, to read and write and communicate at an age when these skills can falter.
What are the aims?
To gain and hold the attention through stories of global extreme travel, peril and interaction with people all over the planet
To encourage self-confidence and self-belief and self-expression
To show how pursuing your talent (not passion) can lead to exciting outcomes
What does the Creating Writing Workshop cover?
These can be tailored to specific requests, but the backbone is a primer in how the professionals write – whether for social media, websites or newspapers. The emphasis though is on imagination and creating fiction.
This is an interactive workshop which can go in many different directions depending on the imagination and ideas of the students. We talk about plotlines and then create characters that can move those plotlines forward and develop themselves.
