TESTIMONIALS
"Workshopping with Nikki is such a delightful experience! She invites us to explore playing with words (and punctuation!!!) and form and white space and sound! So fun AND inspiring, with a chance to think outside the box and explore ways of creating that can spill over into other pieces we're working on."
-Amy
"Nikki is a thoughtful, generous and supportive tutor, creating a safe space for participants and packing in loads of invaluable information and practical advice which I am already applying to my writing practice and the process of putting together a collection of work."
-Jane
"Nikki's gentle, fun and engaging approach to experimental writing has given me tools to get words out onto the page in non-conventional and exciting ways. I feel much more confident making experimental work where the process of making is just as important as the finished product."
-Ant
"Thanks for a very thought provoking workshop. Very useful ideas, which have sparked other ideas."
"I found you very encouraging and supportive, and my confidence has increased as a result."
-Rebecca
"I came out with some new material and already feel like I am going into writing with new ideas."
"Another excellent workshop - my fear of the word 'experimental' has been overcome. You totally opened
my mind to new techniques."
"I found it really inspiring - fun, encouraging, a gorgeous atmosphere."
"I enjoy the support from the other participants and from Nikki, and I love the exercises we do -
I find them inspiring and I learn a lot from them."

my writing."
"I’ve got some really strong lines to work with from that session and feeling very inspired!"
"Really got my brain engaged!"

I am an experienced workshop leader. I have designed and run workshops for many individuals and groups. I also set up MumWrite, supported by ACE, which is a development programme for mums who write, which includes workshops and editorial feedback.
I have also given online feedback through Arts Emergency to young writers.
