Upcoming Events

Interviewing Amy Jeffs

Thrilled to be interviewing Amy about her epic new book *Arthur: A New Life* and all things Arthurian on **17th October** at 10.30am at the beautiful Watts Gallery for **Guildford Book Festival**.
Tickets are now available here.

Interviewing Amy Jeffs again

What a treat to grill medievalist Amy twice in one autumn about her glorious new book *Arthur: A New Life!* We’ll be getting into it all: amorous hares, giants sewing cloaks from the beards of their fallen foes, Glastonbury Abbey, monsters and mythology.
Our second conversation this autumn will be at St Laurence’s Church in Stroud for the **Stroud Literary Festival** on **Saturday 7th November** at 2pm.
Tickets are here.

Launching *You Can Do It With A Broken Heart*

I’m absolutely thrilled to be sending this anthology out into the world with a bang and a bunch of brilliant poets at **The Poetry Pharmacy, Oxford Street,** London on **Friday 13th November** at 6.30pm! Honoured to be joined by some of the poets whose words grace its pages: Jen Feroze, Jo Bratten, Catriona Innes, Charlie Brogan and Esther Lay.
Every copy bought at the event will come with a free bottle of The Poetry Pharmacy’s new ***You Can Do It with a Broken Heart Poetry Pills*** - poetic first aid for tender hearts. Come for the heartbreak, stay for the healing!
Tickets are here.

Interviewing Joanna Miller

I absolutely loved Joanna’s hit debut novel *The Eights*, inspired by the first female students at Oxford University, so I’m so looking forward to interviewing her about the book for Word on the Street Bookshop, at **St George’s Church,** **Ashtead** on **24th November** at 7pm.
Tickets are available from the shop.

Talk: The Hidden History of Women’s Writing

I’ll be talking about why more women didn’t make it into the ‘greatest hits’ of English Literature, and telling stories of amazing women who wrote and published despite everything stacked against them. At **Guildford Library, Saturday 28th November**, 2pm.

Contact Me for Future Events

Do get in touch (you can email me) if you’d like to book me to speak at a school, library, bookshop or literary festival, or to chair an author event.

School Events

I speak to Primary School audiences at all levels, and Secondary Schools up to Year 7, and I have interactive talks on nature poems, poetry by women and poems about myths and legends. Find more detailed information on my talks here.

Bookshop, Library and Festival Talks

I love joining panels and being interviewed about books and poetry, and I also have illustrated talks for adults on the hidden history of women’s writing, mythology and legends which I have also delivered to U3A and other groups.

Event Chairing

My experience as both an author and a publicist has been invaluable in event chairing both in person and online. It has been a pleasure to manage warm and lively discussions with fascinating writers including Lucy Mangan, Elly Griffiths, Mary Lawson, Jessica Bull, Catherine Newman and Simon Mason. I can also help to promote events via my newsletter and social media. More information here.

Demystifying Publishing

I also speak to writers’ groups, sixth forms and other interested groups about careers in Publishing, book publicity for authors and literary events, among other related topics. More detailed information on these talks, which I have delivered in person at venues including the Jersey Festival of Words and online for organisations like The Mum Poem Press and London Writers’ Salon, can be found here.
