Thanks Claire @greenshawtrust.bsky.social for asking me to speak in Gloucestershire today! It was a privilege to give the key-note and engage with so many teachers opening doors for their budding writers.

Lovely to see the exploration of crafting effective non-fiction writing!
✨️ What a wonderful day spent continuing to "open the door" at Richmond Hill Primary Academy!
📖💡❤️ This was the hub's 3rd session out of 5 and the focus was on creative non-fiction. Ideas were plentiful.
👀 Take a look!
