Freelance Work

I am available to deliver poetry readings and workshops, in a variety of settings.

When I work as a poet in schools, I frequently design experiences specifically for the school and for the children involved. I work with children and young people of all ages and am experienced at working with children with special needs.

I offer readings and workshops based around Bug Music, a series of poems which give insects voice. These are accompanied by a collection of puppets, toys and models. I also offer "Juice from Oranges, Rocks from Space" readings and workshops on the theme of Migration, developed in partnership with Manchester Museum.

I run sessions for schools and community groups engaging young people in science technology and maths in ways that are creative, relevant and sometimes quite unusual.

There are a number of "off the peg" workshops you can book, but I can also work with you to devise a workshop which fulfils your needs.
