Available Presentations

WORKSHOP: Idea Generation Factory

This fun and interactive session is packed with creative prompts and group activities to spark fresh story ideas. Perfect for coming up with brand-new concepts or adding depth to your novel or longer-form fiction.

WORKSHOP: Who’s that? – creating believable characters

In this lively, hands-on workshop, we’ll dig into what makes characters feel real and relatable. Through fun exercises and guided discussion, participants will develop original characters they can use in short stories, novels, or any fiction project.

AUTHOR TALK: Smashing through writers block

Explore the common causes of writer’s block and discover practical strategies to overcome it. I’ll share personal experiences, mindset shifts, and actionable tips to help you get unstuck and reignite your creative flow.

 

AUTHOR TALK: Fine, I’ll do it myself: self-publishing

New to self-publishing and not sure where to begin—or not having much luck with traditional publishers? This talk covers the basics to help you navigate the process, from editing and cover design to platforms, pricing, and promotion. It’s also a great overview to consider before you start writing, so you can plan ahead and avoid common pitfalls.

PANELS: Sci-fi & Fantasy, Self-publishing, LGBTQ+, Young Adult

I bring experience, insight, and a touch of humour to panels on writing, publishing, and representation.

PANELS: general talks about my books and writing experience

I share candid insights and stories from my writing journey, from idea to publication.

All sessions can be adjusted and catered for appropriate audiences from Year 7 through to adults.

Nikki can speak on other topics upon request.
