Lorna V: Writing • Teaching • Performing
I’m a creative explorer, thinker and doer. I write, teach, perform solo and act, teach creative writing, and offer script and manuscript analysis. I recently completed an MSc in Creative Arts and Mental Health at Queen Mary University of London.

Writing
From journalism to theatre, blogs to books, digital to live presentations, academic to entertainment, I’m ignited and excited by deadlines and can adapt easily to different genres.

Performing
I’ve been writing and performing my work at performance arts festivals since 2014. Highlights include appearing at the Lion & Unicorn Kentish Town, Willesden Library Performance Space, Winchester Discovery Centre, Battersea Arts Centre, and the Old Fire Station Arts Centre, Oxford. In April 2018 the award-winning Blue Elephant Theatre gave me the opportunity to present my first full length solo show.

Teaching
I discovered my interest in education through teaching on postgraduate journalism courses. It was quickly apparent that what gave me most satisfaction was guiding students to develop the mental skills required for a media career through understanding their dreams, purpose, and psychological make-up. This led to developing my own workshops aimed at people of all ages and backgrounds who want to write.
I currently teach creative non fiction and blogging at City Lit. Contact me via the contact form for more information and any questions as to what would suit you.
Lorna wrote on my piece of homework ‘start the book!!’ -and two years later I became a bestselling published Hay House author! I’m so grateful for Lorna’s help on her course.
Lorna V carries a light others find easy to be led by.
