My approach to teaching:
My aim is to get you writing and keep you writing. I use supportive feedback, noting what works well, along with specific advice on what could be improved.

What inspires my work?
Setting is frequently the inspiration for my writing, which is fortunate as I love travelling. Exploring a place's history and society prompts in me that 'What if…?' question.
