It is that time of year again – I will be attempting to not only write a poem a day through out February but to spend an hour each day working on poetry stuff. I have book cases full of note books with stuff to type up, only a fraction of it is poetry but […]
It is the beginning of 2015 and a time to start a fresh and plan my writing and poetry year! And this is ever more complicated as I am now having to keep a two year diary for bookings! Anyway, one of the keys is to be able to keep writing, I sometimes get far […]
We all get rejections, it is however a harsh thing when you get your first, even worse when you do not hear anything and you are wondering how long you should be waiting, hoping, fearing… They say older poets and researchers tend to get more things published and more grants and funding but when you […]
Yep 🙂 I have 30 new shiny poems written this month – although they are not all narratives or stories as I had intended, which is the reason I will still be writing until the end of the month! I feel quiet chuffed to be at this point considering it is about half way through […]

I am very excited to have been asked to judge the regional part of a national schools poetry competition this year in March. This was a lovely event last year and the children where amazing. I will also once more be running the World Poetry Writing Month challenge in February. This is a month of […]
