As a #freelance #creative, the thing I struggle with most is self-promotion and marketing - which unfortunately is a big part of freelancing!

Which is leading up to say, I'm always looking for work. I don't intend to spam the feed on here with this sort of thing, but if anyone is looking for a #storyteller or someone to run #CreativeWorkshops, I have lots of dates available in the new year and beyond.

I have a background in #EFLTeaching and #CreativePractition and can offer #EFLTutoring; performance #Storytelling of #TraditionalStories; #StoryMaking and #CreativeWriting workshops (I have a Masters in Writing for Young People); and #Folklore talks for adults, with a focus on #Northumberland and the #ScottishBorders. I have lots of experience working with #schools and #YouthGroups.

I try to keep my prices affordable, I tailor sessions to the needs of a group, and I can offer online sessions as well as in-person events. I've been working in the above areas for over a decade.

There's more info on my website: https://spindriftstories.wordpress.com/ or just get in touch if you have any queries, ideas, or project ideas!

Apologies for the self-promotion, it won't happen often. Boosts appreciated, but no obligation!

Since it seems common for newcomers to make a small #Introduction, here is mine :

I am a privileged person. Deeply in love with my life partner (21 years and going), and fully committed in writing, the study of creativity theory, the teaching of creative writing. Being a published writer, an active screenplay writer and creative writing professor at Université de Montréal, I do my best to some good in this life.

I am also a late diagnosed autist and a non-binary person (autigender sounds right for me). Most people still use "he" or "him" with me and this is fine : I am used to being gendered as a male. But when someone uses "they" with me, it sure feels good.

If I had to crush my daily life in a list of non-hierarchical hashtags, it might look like this : #ActuallyAutistic #LGBTQ #Queer #Writing #CreativeWriting #Literature #Screenplay #Qcliteratue #Novel #NonFiction #Poetry #ResearchCreation #CreativityTheory #CreativityTeaching #CreativeWorkshops #Dialogism #Ecofeminism #Immanentism #Decolonialism #Emancipation #Listening #Gardening #VegetableGardening #Quebec #Canada #Gaia
