I’m passionate about diversity in journalism and have taught women’s writing courses in Cambridge partnered with Waterstones Cambridge, plus mentored young writers funded by The Richmond Fellowship. I’ve also taught creative opinion writing and arts writing with the National Centre for Writing, as part of Arts Council funded Creative Collisions, plus with Norfolk Arts Trust. I’ve also been mentored by Women In Journalism and highly recommend them if you are looking for support.
