writIng Together

I have experience co-authoring stories that resonate with me, and as a writing mentor and support. Either in person from the Blue Mountains, NSW, or zoom/Teams. Contact me for a conversation if you would like to find out more.

Giving and receiving feedback has been invaluable to writers through the ages. I believe that writing groups can be many things at once - safe, serious and playful, while helping develop rigor and excellence in writing. I create bespoke, gentle, non-hierarchical yet safe and respectful writing retreats and groups, and doing this brings me joy.

I am also a certified workshop leader in the AWA method and supported through the affiliate network - this globally used method - one of the most popular writing workshops in New York - has a long history of working with agencies in workshops in places of detention, homeless shelters, schools, churches, and other groups. Read more about this approach and its philosophy here. I am sometimes able to offer free or low-cost outreach writing workshops for disadvantaged groups, faith communities, and others on request.
