I am a writer and have been living in Whalley Range with my partner since 2004. I teach creative writing at the University of Salford and as an Associate Lecturer for the Open University.

I have experience of facilitating writing workshops in the community and I am currently organising a series of storytelling events and a storymaking project wth children and parents.

I have just been successful in gaining council funding for a project based in Whalley Range via the ‘Whalley Range U Decide' / Cash Grants scheme.

This will involve a series of creative writing workshops based around story exploration and creation, which will see parents/guardians of 4-8 year olds working together. The project will be based at Bright Eyes Centre.

I am looking for other host organisations with whom to run other versions of this project. If you would be interested in being a host organisation then please get in touch! I can be contacted on 0161 226 4705 / 07906 856 824.
