Welcome
Here you will find news about my various publications and activities - and examples of my writing.
My work rises out of my intense interest in the natural world, art, mythology and history.
As an experienced teacher and workshop leader, I am able to deliver creative activities to all ages, and help everyone to feel that they have tapped into their potential as a writer.
Past courses have taken place in museums, galleries and libraries, focussing on using historic collections to inspire powerful work.
My writing is particularly suited to residencies, as I enjoy working collaboratively and in response to particular objects or buildings.

News and Events:
The final book in The Arrowsmith Trilogy has arrived!

'Greencoats' - historical fantasy set in WW2 - is shortlisted for the International Rubery Book Award!
The judges said: . . . The mysteries continue when Gwen ventures into the woodlands. A magical element is introduced through spirits within the trees and skilfully woven with the realistic human stories to create a wonderful world which Gwen delights in exploring.
There is a KS2 Scheme of Work FREE to download here: Greencoats
You can order a copy to be delivered to you on the Shop page of this website.

Reprint of Flocks of Words:
After selling-out the initial print run in 2020, Flocks of Words is back!
Shortlisted for the Rubery Book Award Poetry Category in 2018, Flocks of Words is my first poetry collection. Several of its poems have won prizes, been published or anthologised. And I enjoyed performing many of them with the acoustic band Whalebone as part of our collaboration from 2017-2019.
Signed copies are available to buy from my website shop for £7.99 +P&P.
