My Favourite Books of 2019
I wanted to share with you my favourites out of that pile of 28, in the hope that you might find a new favourite of your own to add to your shelves this year.
Theatre Review | Nativity! The Musical – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton
Most of us all know the story of the Nativity; for many, it's a staple of Christmastime in Britain, along with mince pies, selection boxes, Wizzard and tinsel.

Learning to write theatre reviews with Mayflower Young Writers
This month I had the absolute joy of being invited to run two workshops for the Mayflower Young Writers on how to write theatre reviews.

Jo Fisher Writes turns three!
