Trish does story sessions and workshops in schools and nurseries for children of all ages. The workshops range from story reading sessions for the very young (3-7yrs) in which she reads from her picture books.

For the slightly older children (7-11yrs) who are interested in how books are made there is a demonstration of how the initial idea progresses from the story to a finished published book.

(Also available are practical workshops in writing specifically designed for your class if requested.)

For the older students  (11yrs to 18yrs) Trish introduces different forms of writing ie children’s books; stage plays; radio plays and writing for TV. Examples from Trish’s own work are used in the session and in a longer session the students are able to take part in practical exercises to develop their own writing skills.

Trish also runs  a workshop for staff teaching 0 to 7year olds called Improving Story Telling Techniques.

Trish is in the process of developing a series of newsletters for adults, packed with tips and advice for beginner writers  interested in writing children’s books or scripts for stage, radio and TV.
