Energy, laughter and creativity. Stephen makes poetry accessible and appealing to young people. All are encouraged to find their voice. I suggest you book now.

He has achieved the impossible. He has made poetry cool for teenagers. The boys absolutely loved it.

The most unlikely students showed off their poems proudly. I would recommend the workshops to all schools.

The Inspireland workshops were very popular with students who spoke with real enthusiasm about the session and all recommended it for T.Y students next year.

We all had a great day, I learnt a lot about written expression and a bit about myself too. Thank you so much for coming to our school.

This workshop was actually unreal. Best thing ever, thought it was going to be shite. Hope the legend comes again. Really funny and actually got loads from the class.

100% the best workshop I’ve had, you’re absolutely hilarious and made my day. Definitely have a new outlook on poetry and education in general. Cheers.

This was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had in school! Stephen is amazing teacher and he helped me a lot with my creative writing and I think writing is way more fun now when you use your imagination!!
