Poetry Please

I've finished the materials for the Rhythm in Poetry Project and am currently writing educational materials on poems by Wordsworth, Blake, Coleridge, Keats, Browning, Tennyson, Hopkins and Shakespeare. I'm also about to submit a proposal to the same publisher for a set of worksheets on spelling for Years 7/8.

I've written 10 tips on writing stories for children and a picture book manuscript as part of the Working Writer's Coaching Programme and have signed up for Suzanne's Summer Bootcamp to kick start my freelance career. See the links at the top of this page for details.

I've attended writing workshops at Tynemouth, based in the Lifeboat Rescue Museum and also at Cherryburn, the birthplace of the wood engraver, Thomas Bewick. Both were productive and enjoyable.

In addition to all this writing, I've started an introduction to Creative Writing programme at my local Community Centre. My students are really keen and I'm enjoying it immensely. It's something I've wanted to do for a while.
