Creative co-working online – Doing It For The Kids (members event)
I host an online creative projects co-working session for members of the DIFTK group (which is a membership for freelancers with kids!) If you’re a member come and join us – and if you’re not a member, this is what DIFTK is all about.
Would you like me to share some of my knowledge with your group?
Would you like me to appear on your podcast or video chat? Maybe I could speak at your networking meeting? Or perhaps I could write something for your magazine or blog?
These are some things I know about:
- Penguins
- Drinking tea
- Different varieties of shortbread biscuit
- The closest beaches to Maidenhead
- Triangles. I lived on one once. (The Aston Triangle.)
- Bluey.
Not that useful?! 
Have a look at the past 
and upcoming 
events for an idea of the topics I talk about!
And then send me a message if you’d like to have a chat.

Creative writing sessions
From time to time, I run online creative writing sessions. If you have a group who would like their own private session, online or in person, please do get in touch for prices. (I have a mini version I can do for networking events.)
The Berkshire branch of the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders enjoyed their workshop earlier in 2024, which I ran when I was testing the idea – see their comments here.
