Support for your creative project

I work alongside other artists and creative organisations, helping people to access funding and providing support for their projects.

I deliver creative writing workshops for organisations such as Writing West Midlands, Creative Future, Mary Stevens Hospice and CHADD.

I provide copywriting, funding bid writing and other administrational support to organisations promoting art, culture and creativity.

My work with early stage poets includes feedback, editing and mentoring.

Access Support

If you’re d/Deaf, disabled, neurodivergent, or experiencing poor physical or mental health, I can support you to make a funding application to Arts Council England (ACE). This is fully funded and won’t cost you anything. You can get support applying for any Arts Council England grant, including DYCP and NLPG.

I can also provide access support to help you deliver your project, and you can usually get additional funding for this on top of your project cost.

If you’re thinking of applying for Arts Council England funding and need help, or want to find out if you’re eligible, get in touch and I’ll talk you through the process.

Poetry Workshops

Poetry and creative writing is a great way to express yourself.

I’ve run poetry workshops in libraries, women’s refuges, arts centres and even in the woods! Workshops are tailored to each group, and I work with all age ranges and experience levels.

I provide family activities and poetry on demand for events, festivals and special occasions.

Copywriting

I’m passionate about using words for positive social impact. So if you’re a creative organisation, community group or small business with an interest in the arts, I’d love to write for you.

I create copy for web pages, blogs, and any other written content. I’ll work with you to understand your audience, and goals, and write with your unique voice.

Feedback, editing and mentoring

If you’re just starting out in poetry, or you’ve been writing a while and trying to get your work published, I can help you to take the next step.

I’ll give you feedback and editing suggestions on individual poems or a manuscript, and mentor you as you build on your creative practice. I’ll offer guidance on how to get your work in front of an audience or ready for publication.

I’ll share my poetry journey with you, and together we can work out the path to reaching your creative goals.
