Objectives

I will establish a safe space for you to explore your ideas and possible styles of writing that express your thoughts in the most satisfying way for you.  I am experienced in facilitating the work of all levels of skill and can help you to find the forms that suit you best.  You may want support to find ways to speak your work, to try out poetry or write a novel.  If you want to write your memoir, I can help with that, too.  The sessions will be designed according to your ability and interests, so that you feel comfortable and confident and can enjoy working with words.
