Teaching
I have taught creative writing from beginner to advanced levels for over twenty years. I directed the creative writing programme in the Faculty of Continuing Education at Birkbeck College. There I launched and directed the Certificate in Creative Writing, and also developed the MA in Creative Writing. I received the Birkbeck College Distinguished Lecturers Teaching Award in 2003. I have been the external moderator for the Certificate in Creative Writing at the University of Sussex and have worked extensively on assessment criteria for creative writing.
I currently teach short story writing and advanced fiction courses at The City Lit, and I supervise students in fiction writing in the MST in Creative Writing at Oxford University.
