Session Details
I offer two types of sessions: The first, more general one consists of a couple of group games, including a fun way of introducing some interesting Viking facts and a brainstorm story-creating session. After that I will read and take questions. This session is ideal for fans of the Arthur Quinn books or groups who simply want an introduction to writing and lasts from around 50-60 minutes. My second session is more in-depth writing workshop that can be tailoured to suit individual groups. In these, I cover character development, idea-sourcing, dialogue and more. This type of workshop is best for a minimum of 90 minutes each and can be spread over several weeks depending on group needs.
Age Group Details
I prefer to work with children from 3rd to 6th class although I am also happy to give workshops for younger secondary school groups.
Availability Details
I am available any day and any time but I will need a few weeks’ notice to arrange everything. I can travel (public transport).
