Sometimes specific aspects of events and workshops – timings, the precise address, train strike alterations – will be announced closer to the time. I recommend signing up to my newsletter to stay in the loop.

2026 Events

Characters and Consequences creative writing workshop, Burnham Book Festival, 17th October, 13:30, £13.50 per ticket.

Spend ninety minutes away from the real world, exploring narrative, the hero’s journey and character archetypes. We’ll do a narrative branching exercise and free writing, and you’ll leave with stories you can continue telling at home. Details: the event is held in the Mendip at the Princess Theatre, Burnham-on-Sea. Bring something to write with and something to write on, preferably a pen and paper as opposed to a laptop or tablet (using tech for accessibility purposes is of course completely fine). The event is for ages 14-plus. Buy tickets here.

Christmas @ Cardiff Book Fair, 21st November, free entry.

Timings and tickets available soon. What will I bring? Signed copies of Rotting Trees and The Princess and the Dragon and Other Stories About Unlikely Heroes, plus merch. What can you bring? A tote bag to fit your new books!
