Olivia offers poetry workshops for both adults and children (6 – 16year olds). She has led workshops at local art centres, festivals, libraries and online to schools across the country.

Olivia says, ‘My workshops help to give students a taste of how experimenting with words can not only be freeing but also fun and relevant to their own lives. My workshops help to give people confidence in their own ability and also some sneaky creative tips!’

If you would like to book a workshop with Olivia, please email to discuss availability and current rates. 

Messages from a year 6 class, after their poetry workshop:

• ‘Thank you for being with us today. I really enjoyed the meeting and hope that you can come again… hopefully in person. You have really inspired me and now I love poetry even more. Thank you so much!’
• ‘Thank you so much Liv, you’re the best person ever! I don’t know who would have inspired me if it wasn’t for you.’
• ‘Thank you so much for coming into our lesson today. I really liked your poems and I loved how you told us to follow our dreams.’ 

Messages from teachers:

• ‘You have certainly inspired the children as all they wanted to do during playtime and lunchtime on Friday was to write poetry!’ 
• ‘Thank you so much for yesterday! The children really enjoyed it! It’s inspired some of them to write more over half term too!’ 
• ‘Thank you so much for joining us – it was such a great session! I already received an email from a parent saying how much they enjoyed the workshop!’ 
• ‘Thank you very much, it was so fun and the class loved it.  Was so nice to see them reading their stuff and also being interested in asking questions.  They really enjoyed your poems too and can’t wait for the books to be in the library!’
• ‘It was so wonderful, thank you. There was a definite buzz and parents were reading the poems outside on their way home… Even parents who don’t have children in Class 3! Many thanks again. It’s definitely an experience they will always remember!’
• ‘It was an amazing session – thank you so much! It isn’t easy to walk into a class of 13-year-olds and get them to relate to poetry but they really did engage with you.’
