I have a Bachelor’s degree in English with Creative Writing and I have been writing professionally for stage and page for the past ten years. Since 2017, I have been running and facilitating workshops in and around London. When I moved back to my hometown of Okehampton, it seemed the perfect opportunity to combine my love of writing and teaching in the community.
Writing has brought me so much joy. Throughout my life, it has provided me with a tremendous sense of achievement and intellectual stimulation, as well as a vital outlet for my mental wellbeing. I want to create an environment within my community, and further, for others to gain the same benefits.
So what are you waiting for? Book onto one of our monthly workshops or join our local writers’ group today! Transform your writing skills as part of a friendly hub of local writers, all set against the magical backdrop of Dartmoor.

About Perdita
Hi, my name is Perdita and I am a writer, teacher and workshop facilitator.
With a degree in English and Creative Writing from Falmouth University, I’ve worked as a professional writer in London for the last decade.
It’s my passion to help you unlock your creativity, silence your inner critic, and develop consistent writing habits to help you reach your creative goals. Moor Imagination aims to get you writing and keep you writing so that you can enjoy the confidence of creating your own original work.
Originally from Dartmoor I moved back to Okehampton at the start of 2020 with my husband and baby daughter. Since then, my family has grown and I now have two beautiful girls to drag along with me on my moorland hikes.
I created Moor Imagination to be a supportive, inclusive and friendly outlet for writers.
Our workshops, courses and support groups give you plenty of choice and are the perfect place to meet like minded people.
Explore your creative potential and build new friendships with us.
