Invitations and collaboration

Let’s talk

I love people and conversations about literature that wander off the main path. I travel to libraries, festivals, cultural centres and places that work outside the mainstream.

Author meetings

Conversations around my books: poetry, prose and auto-non-fiction. I can read excerpts and talk about how the books came about. I always enjoy questions from the audience, which often turn into hours of conversation, either during the event or long after it.

Writing workshops

I have led writing workshops in independent, non-mainstream spaces. I also work one-to-one, helping writers develop their texts through consultation and ongoing creative support.

  • group workshops
  • one-to-one text development
  • consultation and creative support

Talks and panels

Topics: ADHD in adult women, mothering a child on the autism spectrum, relationships outside the norm, feminism, writing about your own life.

Where I have been

  • Residencies: Can Serrat (2017), Visegrad Literary Residency, Prague (2022)
  • Workshops: Fundacja Ad Hoc, OK Brwinów, Grupa Światy
  • Feminist camps with Ulica Siostrzana
  • Sopot Literary Festival 2024: an event with Eliza Kącka on books about a relationship with a child whose way of seeing the world escapes expectations
  • Events around my books, 2023 to 2026: Wschowa, Gniezno, Milanówek, Zachęta Gallery in Warsaw

Practical

I live in Milanówek near Warsaw and spend the cold half of the year in Andalusia. I can take part in events in Polish, English and Spanish.

Tell me what you are looking for: the kind of event, the date and the place. I reply within two days.
