Jodie's Bio

After not writing anything except emails and social media posts, I decided to go to university at 42 and did a degree in Literature and Philosophy, where I found out you could take creative writing modules. I then did a Masters in Literature and Creative Writing. I am currently in the early stages of a creative writing PhD, focused on Northern working-class women in Literature. I have had prose poetry published in Route 57, The Sheffield Review and Ourselves Reflected Back, the Flux anthology. I write poetry, short stories and memoir with a focus on the lived experiences of under represented people and communities, and believe everyone has stories to share.

 

Jodie is running sessions on 5th November and 3rd December.
