All The Things
Mentoring, Feedback sessions, Upcoming Courses, The Ghost Lake Events, Giveaways...
This week: an old school newsletter. I have a smorgasbord of events and services to tell you about, and a giveaway too.
Scroll for all the things.
Mentoring
I offer private 1-2-1 mentoring sessions. My style is holistic - I believe that creativity doesn’t happen in a vacuum and if you are struggling with your creativity or creative direction its likely that it’s not about the writing itself.
I help writers find solutions and insights to move their writing forward. I’m currently open to bookings for 1-2-1 single sessions, and four week blocks.
My sessions are one hour long, delivered via zoom and include feedback on four poems or up to 2000 words of prose. I currently only work with poetry and creative non fiction.
Single session: £75
Four week block: £300

Fettling Feedback Sessions
Fettling sessions are friendly, small group (no more than ten) zoom feedback sessions for poets, aimed at 'fettling' your poems. They begin in September 2024. The Fettling sessions take place on Sundays 2-4pm UK time.
Each session begins with a short writing prompt, a general poetry chat to exchange ideas, events, magazine call outs etc, and then we exchange feedback on poems.
Fettling sessions occur every two months (dates below) and are bookable either individually or in blocks of three or six.
Please note bookings for sessions must be made at least two weeks before the session.
I cannot give refunds on bookings but may be able to exchange dates within reason.
Places are limited to ten, first come, first served.

I'd love to be considered for the free mentoring session - thank you.
Such a myriad of things to choose from. We’re so lucky to have your generosity in the poetry community. Thank you.
