Workshops

Two workshops. Every age.

Write & Sip for the grown-ups, Stories & Scribbles for the little ones. Both built on the same belief: everyone has stories in them, and finding them should be fun.

For women

Write & Sip.

My curated workshop where I help you find your creative muse. Whether you're a full-time writer or just curious about writing, this is a fun space for women to learn about writing and creativity — and to heal through writing.

1 · Gather your circle

Find five friends — or up to eight women who want to write. Sisters, cousins, book club, colleagues: any circle works.

2 · I set the scene

I provide the space, all the materials, and the refreshments. You arrive with nothing but yourselves — the sip is not optional.

3 · We write, laugh & heal

Guided prompts help every woman in the room find her muse. Reading aloud is invited, never required.

For children

Stories & Scribbles.

I'm the creator and founder of Stories & Scribbles — a gentle introduction to writing through play, movement, and magic, designed for children in Grades 1–3. The focus is never on spelling or correctness. It's on creativity, confidence, and helping children fall in love with language.

Ice breakers

Fun games that help children feel relaxed, confident, and comfortable in the group.

Sensory play

Blindfolded taste-and-touch activities exploring smells, textures and flavours — growing vocabulary and teaching how writers use their senses to describe the world.

Movement & verb games

Children act out action words like bounce, glide and twirl — feeling how words work and how stories come alive.

Building stories together

The group creates a story out loud, one idea at a time — strengthening listening, imagination, sequencing and early comprehension.

Story time & reflection

We end with a gentle story reading and a chat about what everyone enjoyed most.

My background: I've mentored young writers through a publishing house's Tween Tales course and edited their stories into published anthologies — so I know exactly how to meet children where their imagination lives.
Why it works

Play now. Write forever.

Every game in Stories & Scribbles is quietly building a writer. Because there's no spelling, no reading aloud, and no "wrong answers", even shy learners feel safe to take part — they discover that ideas come first, and writing comes later. Each child develops:

Vocabulary building Word exploration Sentence construction World building Story construction Early comprehension Sensory awareness Confidence & expression

"We are not teaching children writing. We are teaching children to notice their world — and that is where all good writers begin."

— Fatima, founder of Stories & Scribbles

Words are better together.
