As a creative writer, I have written and published a novel alongside two collections of poetry. I am also skilled at producing effective writing prompts, advice and guidance for new writers

I have been writing for many years, poetry, short fiction and more recently novels.

My fiction explores many of the same themes through story, often focusing on repair, perception, relationships, and the strange ways people shape one another’s lives.

My work has appeared in a range of literary journals and publications, and I am the author of several books, including the novel Chopsticks. My short stories have been nominated for Best of the Net and Genrepunk awards. I am currently working on a second comic fantasy novel.

If you would like support with a more creative piece, or some workshop development ideas why not get in touch?

PERSONALISED POETRY

As an example of the type of poems I can produce, this was the brief on a previous piece that I worked on:

A poem for Dad, 72, obsessed with gold, hates the neighbours,, thinks he is excellent at DIY, loves his grandchildren, retirement party.

And here is the final result

A bespoke personalised poem, up to 24 lines. One revision included and a digital copy delivered to your inbox for you to print or read aloud

Poem for Dad on his retirement

He hears the golf course calling,

His working time is done,

He’ll spend his time with grandkids,

And summers in the sun

We’ve thrown him the perfect party,

And everyone is here,

Except of course for the neighbours,

who he doesn’t hold so dear

It's a good job he has his pension,

With all that time to spare,

He could spend it all at B and Q,

and not finish a single repair

So spend the future wisely,

And enjoy your freedom Dad,

As parents go, you have to know

You’re the best we ever had
