I was Resident Writer for Theatre Centre back in 1983\/4, then for Temba in 1986\/7 and in 2009\/11 I was Associate Writer at Theatre by the Lake, Keswick. Recently I have been a Royal Literary Fund Fellow working with students and staff at various universities including Brunel University, St Mary\u2019s University, Twickenham and UWL. I am currently RLF Fellow at UCLH.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not doing all that, I write stage plays for adults and for young audiences, television and radio scripts and novels.\u00a0 I also run workshops<\/a> for writers and for various RLF Social Sector projects.<\/p>\n
