Author Talks/Workshops
I love sharing my knowledge, experience and my work with other people. As an author, I have much to say about the writing process in both fiction and non-fiction writing from beginning – just getting started – to the end – the publishing process.
But I bring a new perspective to my talks and workshops – writing blind. How does a blind person write in the physical sense, and how does a blind person create characters, plots etc?
I am available to talk to:
- schools
- community groups
- writing groups
One of my passions is to work with kids, particularly upper primary age kids, to help them find their creative selves, to unblock their minds to writing, and to have fun with words.
