Publishers:

Poems: Tell me about new poems you'd like me to write for publication and find out about those on file which you'd like to consider.

Stories: I'm happy to write new stories for early-learners, independent readers and teenagers. Give me a call.

Books & articles for teachers: Get in touch if you have ideas for books you'd like written on a language-based theme, especially those which combine children's poetry-writing with their own original artwork.

Schools:

Workshop sessions: As an ex-primary teacher who is also a writer, I am always pleased to visit schools and libraries to run art and writing workshops with children. The twin disciplines of poetry and art are two sides of the same coin, requiring artist and poet to look imaginatively at the world in order to produce a creative response. I encourage the children to present their written work in a range of exciting ways - in opening flaps, frames, zigzag books and so on - so that it becomes more than simply words on a page.

INSET sessions: I am experienced in organising workshops for teachers in primary schools (KS1 & KS2) and for those still in training. I offer a range of practical ways-in to writing and bring examples of children's work as a basis for discussion. I like to concentrate on poetry and display, story-writing and other aspects of language education in the primary classroom.

Children:

You can email me (info@moiraandrew.com) and tell me what you think about my poems. You can ask questions about my work and suggest new themes for me to write about. I try to reply to everyone who gets in touch with me.
