I work with words and people to help bring change to lives and communities.

I am a writer, curator and educator who is passionate about the power of words. Words can bring relief, even healing; they can develop and empower; can lead to making a living, to making a life. I provide opportunities to write creatively for young people and adults; programme events and festivals which encourage writing; take the fear out of engaging with literary works for people of all ages; and tutor young people for public examinations.

Kind words

  • Mrs de Pelet was the first person to make me think about the people who wrote books. I know there is no way that I would have ever dreamed of writing myself, it if weren’t for those lessons. My very first attempt at a short story was dreadful. But the feeling from writing it and the response de Pelet gave when I showed her, are things that I won’t ever forget.

  • Rebecca is a brilliant teacher and was a real inspiration for me throughout my time at school. She always went the extra mile to support students, and kept my love of writing alive. For that I will always be grateful.

  • Some people teach by example, some by sheer force of personality, some by the brilliance of their acquired knowledge. Not all of them can lead others. Rebecca does all of this, has all of this. She is a one off.
