MumWrite UK, The Poetry Club, The Resilient Writers Summit, Fahmidan Education, The Canadian Crow Collective, and more.

What students are saying
Excellent workshop on ‘Writing What Hurts’! I think Elizabeth might be the best teacher I’ve ever had!"
“[Elizabeth’s workshop] was the most unusual and meaningful workshop I’ve attended related to writing and poetry. I discovered another part of my ritual to enhance my writing.”
Working with Elizabeth really inspired me to view the ocean in a different way, as well as spark different ideas with poetry. [Her writing the ocean workshop] led me to write a whole new poem, and inspired me on how to move forward with my next poetry book."
A friendly, stimulating workshop where we quickly broke the ice and got swapping ideas about marketing. Elizabeth gave us some brilliant, actionable tips which I still use now. I highly recommend Elizabeth’s courses - well worth the time and money, and fun too!"
