“Fantastic Sall thank you! Really excellent helpful process. I actually would not have done it without you - it’s amazing what support can do. Thank you for being calm and clear and passionate about the work.”

Finding your way around a funding application can be scary, or feel impossible. Working with your specific access needs, I help you put your ideas into words, navigate online forms, and even liaise with organisations on your behalf. I can also provide ongoing support to help you deliver your project.

I’ve supported dozens of artists working in all sorts of art forms to submit funding applications and implement successful projects. I work via various funding routes including DYCP, NLPG and the Access to Work scheme, as well as smaller arts organisations and funding bodies.

We can work together online or in-person, depending on your location. Many organisations such as Arts Council England (ACE) will cover some or all of the costs.

If you need support applying for funding or to deliver a project, please get in touch to find out how it works.

“This space was truly lovely, a new type of poetry space for me where language choice was really explored and challenged. I felt completely refreshed by the experience.”

I lead workshops for seasoned writers as well as people with only a little knowledge of poetry, and varying levels of English literacy. I work with all kinds of groups and age ranges, and each workshop is tailored to the experience and needs of the group.

Workshops can be delivered online or in person, depending on your location and budget. Drop me a line to find out more.

Prices start at £150

Whilst we are in time of huge financial crisis, I believe is vital to pay artists fairly. My rates are based on calculations by the Artists’ Union England and the Freelance Ready Reckoner.

I understand my rates may not be accessible to everyone due to structural barriers. If you’re on a low/no income, I welcome you contacting me to discuss discounted rates and payment plans.
