Adult workshops
As someone who was discovered in the 'slush pile', I would love to come and talk to you about how to create and submit a picture book. I have five years' experience teaching in the adult learning sector. I'm also the author of the chapter on social media for writers in The Handbook of Creative Writing (second edition) published by Edinburgh University Press.
I am based in Bedfordshire and can travel around the South East and London.
Member of the Society of Authors.

Books
I have written nine books including
 |
Letter to Pluto
Jon's teacher starts an interstellar penpal programme. Jon is not impressed as his penpal Straxi is from Pluto, the most boring, smelliest place in the solar system. And what's worse, she's a girl! |
Homework on Pluto
A holiday to Pluto seems like a well-deserved reward for Jon, considering he has just saved the entire planet. However, with homework arriving from Earth, mad Grans and handbag-stealing blue-headed skwitches to deal with, Jon’s trip might be more eventful than he’d planned! A brilliantly funny sequel to Letter to Pluto. |
Daddy and I
Saturday is Daddy day and it's time for adventure! A heartwarming story of the power of imagination. |
The Snugglewump
Molly's toys are arguing about which of them is loved best. They all forget Molly's comforter, who goes on a journey and discovers you don't need bells and whistles to be loved. |
The Snowflake Mistake
In a palace above the clouds, a magical machine makes identical snowflakes. When the Snow Queen leaves Princess Ellie in charge, everything goes wrong and Ellie must make less than perfect snowflakes... |
Professor McQuark and the Oojamaflip
One day a fantastic idea pops into Professor McQuark's head to create an Oojamaflip but what is one and will it win her first prize at the town science fair? A fast-paced, rhyming tale of wacky invention and determination!Genres
