Writing workshops

I am an experienced leader of workshops with adults and young people.  I use supportive semi-structured exercises to get the best out of people’s creative and imaginative writing, in prose or poetry.  I am happy to lead small or larger groups, and I particularly enjoy working with people who are less experienced and/or lack confidence, though working with experienced writers is a great pleasure too!  Feedback on my workshops is usually extremely positive.

I am available by arrangement for commissioned workshops, open or themed:  please contact me by e-mail (via the link on my home page).

Details of public workshops are posted here.

(2011) On Saturday 23 July I’m leading a workshop at Acton Court.  Afterwards I’ll be giving a reading of the poems I wrote last year during my residency there.

(2010) Creative writing workshops at the Chelsea Physic Garden, London:  Feedback on the three sessions has been very positive: ‘Organisation was excellent… A lovely, supportive and inspiring atmosphere right from the off - Lesley a wonderful teacher, full of great ideas and insightful comments...’
