HomeI write mostly poetry with some prose and script writing. You can find what I’ve written by clicking on publications and Liz's poems.
I was a secondary school History and English teacher for years. Then I moved into university and community work as a teacher of Creative Writing; but I still do writing workshops in schools with both kids and teachers. You can find out about my teaching activities by clicking on writing and teaching. If you want to learn something about my ideas click on Liz's Blog - What happens when you write.

More about LizI am a governor of a primary school in South Gloucestershire and hope to do some writing workshops with the children.
As a writer of poetry I like to keep a hand in other art forms so I tutor on a cross-arts module for The Open College of Arts as well as on their Creative Writing courses. I am the OCA Unit Leader for poetry. |
Here’s how I try to keep abreast of all the arts:
I am a frequenter of Music in Bristol and hope to get to know the Repertoire at St Georges Brandon Hill. And I sing in the Nailsea Choral Society. I have acted in two plays put on the Crucible main stage by Sheffield’s People’s Theatre: The Sheffield Mysteries in 2014 and Dream in 2016 both of them written by Chris Bush and directed by Daniel Evans. I have recently joined Bristol Old Vic Adult theatre group and am looking forward to this term's performance. In 2014 -15 I did a film-making course for older people as part as an EU-funded (please note) project in Cooperation with Portugal, Slovenia and Italy as a way of ensuring active aging. I directed one five minute film and was screenwriter and actor for another: Swimming Pool which was subsequently shown at the Women Over 50 Film Festival in Brighton in 2015. http://cinageproject.eu/en/package/cinage-films/film-09.html |
