Working out of Huddersfield & Keswick, I run drama, fiction & creative writing workshops for all ages. This Welcome page holds my latest updates.

Updated 18-11-08 

Autumn 08 ~ The latest from me is that I've been really enjoying promoting the 20 books on the Doncaster Book Award long list and am looking forward to the first week of December when I'll be working in Northern Ireland for a week, running workshops in and around the Bangor area. Booked Up was fabulous this year and with the Carnegie long list just out, I'm also looking forward to tucking into some great reads there.

Anything goes if you're looking to organise a workshop, but currently the widest appeal might be for a day of activities related to the Booked Up initiative - your books will have either arrived or be coming soon and I can help to encourage swapping and wider reading. Other than that I'll be out there working on fiction & drama days for The Doncaster Book Award, The Salford Children's Book Award and Doncaster's Boys Into Books initiative. I'm also available for writing-based days.

If you've not worked with me before, click on the two 'Workshops' pages for an overview or list of what I do. For a more detailed description of my work, click on  'Dave Days in Detail'

If you're ready to discuss requirements or make a booking, just Email me and I will telephone or email you back as soon as I can.
