Describe your approach to teaching:
I believe Creative Writing requires a creative approach. I draw on
over twenty years' experience of teaching, lecturing, and
mentoring, and love to see writers develop as people and
artists.
What inspires your work?
I take inspiration from my very chequered life - from careleaver
who ended up on the streets to award winning author and PhD.
Writing has been the one lifelong constant.
