I love teaching, and especially love teaching writers. My first full-day masterclass, on How to build a heroine, happened last month and it seemed to go pretty well. I have a few more in the pipeline, and big plans for next year.

All the details are on my New Page Writing website.

Coming up soon are:

• A couple of free online sessions on How to interview a writer (October is booked out, but there are still a few spots for December)
• Do crime: writing compelling crime fiction (16 November – only 3 spots left)
• Writing retreat: a weekend focused on fiction (14-16 March 2025)

Next year I’ll also run masterclasses on historical fiction, Scrivener, writing YA, and a new weekend writing retreat on creative practice and creativity (and relaxation!).

So that’s all keeping me out of mischief.

Although I do like mischief…
