The following are lovely things people have said, following on from school events, and then wordy workshops I’ve delivered.
Quotes from teachers and pupils (my favourite is from Tommy, I need that on a badge):
Tommy: “I loved Lisette’s vibe and style!” 
Imogen: “I was inspired by Lisette to keep writing at home!”
Macey: “I was excited to meet Lisette as I’d never met an author before! She inspired me to try and write more stories.”
James: “Lisette’s assembly was very inspiring. I began work on my own story as soon as I got home that day!”
Lisette was very engaging. She had the pupils in the palm of her hand. It is one of the best creative writing sessions that I have seen.
Mr. T: “Lisette delivered a fantastic workshop to my class. The fast-paced session pushed the children to be creative. All of the children were engaged and excited and have already been asking when we can see her again!”
Miss. D: “Lisette’s session was fabulous! It was lovely to see even our most reluctant writers enjoy experimenting with creative writing, and many of the children asked for extra time to write stories afterwards.”
Mrs. T: “Lisette was so energetic and engaging. The pupils absolutely loved her session and produced some wonderfully imaginative work!”
Quotes from adults attending workshops and events. I’ll begin with my absolute personal favourite:
I arrived half an hour late, and the remaining one and a half hours made me feel PARTICULARLY sorry that I did. Thank you.
“Inspirational and innovative with a variety of prompts which really captured my imagination. I loved the diverse teaching and learning styles too and the pace of the sessions which didn’t allow for ‘stage fright’ or writer’s block. I loved the friendly nature of the sessions too and the poems you read aloud. When will you be doing more workshops and do you offer mentoring?”
“Lisette has a wonderful way of encouraging new writers with a gentle and accessible wordy way, as well as offering inspiration, food for thought and rekindling of imagination for more experienced writers.”
First time to an event like this. Thank you for the enlightenment. Super knowledgeable, super woman. Very much enjoyed.
“Always like learning something new. Just when you thought you knew it all!”
“I had no idea what I was coming in to. But loved it! Felt really at home and left leaving inspired. Thank you.”
I’ve never written more material in a workshop!
“Buzzing with ideas, new ways to write. Removed my current block – yes! Yes! Yes! Thanks master!!”
Unique, challenging, inspiring.
“A high energy session. Thank you Lisette for leaving me buzzing!”
“Fun, challenging, very different (in a good way!). Very friendly and inclusive.”
“Lisette is fun to be around. She sets interesting tasks. She makes us write – something scary when you’re a writer. I wrote loads.”
Brilliant.
“Providing a wealth of wordy wonderment… Time goes so quickly.”
“I enjoyed the poetry workshop, tutor very nice (Lisette) and friendly. Warm-hearted. I will come again! THANK YOU!”
“Warmly encouraging. Didn’t pressure individuals. So many pointers. Thank you.”
“Such a great range of techniques for generating writing, getting going, keeping going, having fun. Thanks Lisette.”
“Really enjoyed the energy of your presentation and the ideas useful and creative, look forward to using them. And fun. Thanks.”
Freewheeling. Where did these thoughts come from? Wow. I was surprised I could do that.
“Love the encouragement to free write then pick out the good stuff. Works for me!”
Super workshop Lisette. Truly inspirational. Genre-busting!
“Fun and informative. Hard work but provided good ‘tools’ and ideas to inspire future writing.”
“I really enjoyed extending my writing, completing exercises that made me combine words in a different way. Thank you.”
“I’m going to write a poem to the House of Commons, shaming them for allowing such terrible things to happen to our people. A very thought provoking session. Thanks.”
“Nothing like what I expected, a lovely dive into unchartered territory in my own mind and valuable group participation. A relaxing and informative way to spend an evening.”
Lisette is ace. Woop for poetry!!
“Extremely enjoyable. Thank you for the encouragement… and inspiration too!”
“Lisette delivers an interesting and stimulating workshop which should provide plenty of ideas for the future.”
Non-stop intensive work. Brain sapping. Ink spilling. Paper filling. List making. Word linking. Hours filling. The poetry workshop.
“Enjoyable, friendly, pressurised writing, but fun too. Easily would do another workshop as it was fun learning interesting and inspiring ideas.”
Lisette is friendly and approachable providing lots of encouragement and food for thought.
“Incredibly chilled session, inclusive and fun, all round great experience. Had fun learning and writing.”
This is what my awesome wordsmith and spoken word artist friend Sarah Crutwell has to say about me, and I rather like it, and her, a very big lot:
She’s the sista
Who cracks open disability labels, wide smile and huge heart,
Stomps boots on stage, talking about the years she spent
Overlooked in wheelchair.
