Teaching

I teach regular poetry and fiction courses at both Hastings and Eastbourne campuses of East Sussex College, as well as one off workshops at different settings around Sussex.

My classes are held together by the belief that everyone has many stories in them, and that the every day is a source of endless creativity if we just create the right environment.

Additionally, I also offer 1:1 or small group tutoring and editing via zoom or in person.

Do get in touch directly to find out more about any of these options.

Thank you for giving me the confidence to start writing poetry again. The classes have been so nurturing and you have been so encouraging, thank you'- Nathalie

'In her writing workshops, Sapphire is a wonderful supportive guide who encourages everyone to feel they can contribute, not that they have to. I have increased in confidence as a result. Have thoroughly enjoyed all the workshops I attended.- Ros
