Talks and Workshops
Conversations around inclusive publishing, access, and making space for stories.
We offer talks and workshops for schools, organisations, and community groups who are interested in inclusive publishing and how literature can be made more accessible in practice.
Our approach is reflective, conversational, and grounded in real experience. We aim to create space for understanding, discussion, and practical insight rather than deliver fixed, one-size-fits-all sessions.
WHAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT
What we can explore
We tailor each session, but topics may include:
- What inclusive publishing means in practice
- Author-led approaches and why they matter
- Removing barriers within publishing and creative work
- Supporting diverse voices and lived experiences
- Making space for different ways of writing and storytelling
Sessions can be adapted depending on age group, setting, and focus.

Each session is designed collaboratively.

FEES
Fees and access
We aim to keep this work as accessible as possible, while recognising the time, preparation, and care involved.
As a guide:
- talks and workshops typically range from £150–£400, depending on the type of organisation, session length, and preparation required
We are always open to conversation, particularly for schools, community groups, and organisations working with limited budgets.
If cost is a concern, please feel able to get in touch — we will always try to find an approach that feels fair and workable.
TONE / VALUES
Our approach
We do not approach this work as a formal lecture or presentation.
Instead, we aim to create:
- Thoughtful, open conversations
- Space for reflection and discussion
- A calm and inclusive environment
- Sessions that feel accessible rather than overwhelming
The focus is not on performance, but on shared understanding.
