I run after school clubs and community workshops in Creative Writing for KS1 and KS2. Some examples of my workshops for children include ‘Finding your Voice’, ‘Windows and Doorways’, ‘The Future’, and ‘Using Chance’. My workshops are interactive and fun and we always do lots of cutting and sticking as well as using prompts such as unusual objects or images to kickstart our writing.
I also run themed workshops for adults in community settings. Some examples of previous workshops are: ‘Trees and the Wild’, ‘Writing Motherhood’, ‘Writing Motherhood 2’, ‘The Sea’, and ‘Finding Your Voice.’
At the moment, I have no upcoming workshops.
Watch this space for any changes.

Reviews for my children’s workshops
‘I just wanted to say that Anna really enjoys your classes and I think it is fantastic that you are running them as the imagination is something that is often stifled or forgotten these days.’

‘My two daughters love creative writing, not only is it fun but it allows them to explore their creativity whilst improving their skills in English. When I collect them from their lesson they come out smiling and laughing and when I see what they have written and created I am extremely impressed and often amazed!’
