Welcome to JourneyWords

 

Welcome, I'm Christine - writer and poet.

I'm passionate about living creatively and about writing.  I'm a member of Moor Poets, of local & international writing groups, and a contributor to anthologies.

I offer bespoke creative writing workshops, guided literary walks, and writing in the wild. Use the form below to contact me.  See the left-hand menu for workshops I've run.

My poem ...through the valley... is published as a pamphlet by Ripple Bed Press https://ripplebedpress.co.uk/   

In 2022 I was longlisted for The Bridport Prize in poetry.

In 2018, I co-founded Wednesday Writers with editor and writer's mentor Anne Rainbow, a monthly Artist's Date offering structured workshops on all aspects of creative writing and editing. 

Since I could hold a pen, I've written creatively.  I'm a lifelong journaller and love experimenting with form in poetry and prose, always drawing inspiration from nature around me. 

I grew up in North Lincolnshire in Scunthorpe and studied English at Oxford.  I've lived, worked and written in England, Europe and N. America, am mulitlingual, and I love words ... these are fundamental to my flourishing.
