The Table Read on YouTube


On YouTube, as part of The Table Read, I have a series of creative writing advice to inspire and support the writing community.


You can find the videos on YouTube and on The Table Read Magazine.

Ask Me Anything


My series where I invited people to ask me anything!


I got questions in comments, on social media, and sent in anonymously on AskFM. I tried to answer every question as honestly as possible, even if they were really weird.

Creative Writing Advice


My writing advice series on YouTube, I tackled a different piece of writing advice in each episode. I covered advice about story craft or characterisation, explaining how to recreate it in your own writing, and referencing examples from popular fiction.

Creative Writing For Kids

I released a series of videos writing lessons for children to help during lockdown. I take pieces of writing advice, and break them into bitesize chunks. I reference Disney movies and kids books, to explain different writing techniques and make children better and more confident writers.


Check out my Creative Writing For Kids page, full of writing games and activities, a pinterest board, and a much more.
