Playing with Words
ABOUT
An avid reader and spinner of stories as a child, not to mention menacing grown-ups at family gatherings with my cry of ‘let’s do a play!’, I’ve had a lifelong love affair with words, written and spoken. It’s what you can do with them that fascinates me, words create worlds. Whether you’re writing them or performing them, I can help you make your words count.

Creative Writing Tutor
I run classes and workshops for people who love to write, for whatever reason. I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching Creative Writing from the University of Cambridge. I'm a member of the National Association of Writers in Education and Lapidus. I believe that creative writing can be inspiring, therapeutic and, above all, fun. It’s good for your well-being and yes, anybody can do it. Click below to find out about upcoming workshops and classes.
LAMDA exam coach
LAMDA exams and the LAMDA syllabus can help you become a confident communicator and performer whatever your age or level of experience. I trained as a professional actor at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Nowadays I direct shows for local community theatre groups and I'm an associate artist with Cambridge Theatre Company.
Writer
I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing from the University of Cambridge and write regularly for local glossy magazine, Velvet - both editorial and advertising copy - and for Indie Cambridge. I’m a member of the Society of Authors and my main creative project at the moment is making a solo show about my father who died when I was too young to remember him. Working on this solo performance piece brings him alive for me.
What people are saying about me!
"I attended one of Sarah's Creative Writing workshops and I was completely blown away. After not writing anything for years (except work emails!) I found that once I had the opportunity, in her inspiring, safe workshop, I just didn't know when to stop! Sarah is extremely talented and her creative exercises eased us in to writing a longer piece of work. The rest of the class and I benefited from her warm, friendly, professional style. It has encouraged me to attend more of her workshops and to continue writing. Thank you Sarah."
