Hello, I'm Lynette Shaw McKone and I am a working writer, poet and storyteller.
SmallPage Performance - Workshops and Courses
If you are looking for a Workshop leader to run Inspirational Creative Writing or Poetry courses and workshops or to provide a Poet or Storyteller for your school, group or club, for an event, festival or private function then look no further.
I have worked in many schools with most age groups and have also worked with adult education groups, as a Writers Group Leader and as Compere for Performance Events.
I have performed at Wedding Receptions, Christening Parties, Birthday Parties, Corporate Functions, Music Festivals, Street Parties and Fetes here in the UK and in America.
For a copy of my CV and a full list of when and where I have performed and/or run workshops email me using the form on the 'Contact Us' page.
SmallPage Publications
I publish promotional material, pamphlets and chap-books and I produce, on commission, exquisite hand-bound, one-off heirloom publications; see the next page for more details.
Special Projects in Education
I have recently completed a unique, year-long project, Cumbrian Consequences, working with over 80 children in the West of Cumbria. I wrote a novel, 'The Ruby & The Pearl', (which you can order using the form on the last page of this site) and then worked with children in years 4, 5 & 6 in 5 separate schools. We worked on one chapter per school which we then slotted into the story.
There will be a book launch in Whitehaven in February; if you would like to come and see what it's all about then contact me for free tickets.
If you would like your school to take part in a similar project starting in September 2009 then contact me and I will send you more detailed information.
