She has been writing for over twenty years and has spent most of her career supporting other writers through facilitating writing workshops and literature projects. She was the founder of the Sheffield Young Writers project and has worked for Writing Yorkshire and as a consultant for The Reading Agency. She is now working as Writing Curator at the Writers Hub which she is developing in conjunction with Kollider at Castle House in Sheffield. Beverley also works as a writing coach and loves to run writing retreats in Wales and in Bridlington.
Beverley writes both poetry and fiction as well as non-fiction. She believes in writing as a tool for therapy and play and loves nothing more than firing the imaginations of adults and children in her regular workshops. Recently described by one workshop participant as ‘the Marie Kondo of writing’, for her gift at ‘sparking joy’ in the written word.
Beverley regularly writes about grief for The Huffington Post and has been present at policy-making discussions at the House of Commons as a thought-leader in the world of bereavement. When she’s not writing or facilitating workshops, Beverley loves to be out in the Peak District or on the Yorkshire coast, walking and wild swimming. Find her on Twitter @BeverleyWard.view less
