cool stuff
i'm often involved in organising family, library, community and school writing events and workshops, particularly with writers driven by social and environmental justice.
at the moment, i'm loving working with kids on their own stories! if you have some kids who want to write, or you just want to connect, please contact me!
i'm also involved with the Read NZ Writers in Schools programmes. if you're a school, you can organise visits with heaps of different writers and illustrators through Read NZ.
