School talks & writing workshops

Mark offers a range of presentations and workshops for middle-school and senior students wanting to develop their writing craft.

‘Mark Smith’s author talks were fantastic – I would highly recommend. Both staff and students were able to walk away with accessible tools and language for creative writing. Mark was engaging and made the area of study relevant to the students by linking the work to their studied texts. I particularly liked Marks 10 commandments of writing. I now feel more confident teaching and giving feedback on creative writing.’
