Talks and Media Work

 

I have given talks to many groups on my poetry, promoting the books and sharing stories of writing and the writing process as well as the finished books. 

Much of my poetry is travel based, not just ’21 Days’ but many other works and will be pleased to present to groups. I have received really good feedback on my talks.

Can also give talks to football clubs, particularly non-league on my work and what inspires it. 

I can be ‘booked’ by clubs and groups to come and talk and also give publicity and promote other clubs with my words.
