Greg Mosse is a very experienced creative writing teacher, specialising in intensive residential workshops. He has run classes at literary festivals throughout the UK and group and individual classes in France. His own background in writing began in scripts for the theatre, several of which he performed himself as one man shows. He then moved to Paris where he taught theatre as well as developing a career in technical and literary translation (French and Spanish). On returning to London, he worked for a large number of different publishers as a freelance assessor, editor and translator, as well as reading for several writing prizes. He has also worked extensively in secondary education and has higher education qualifications from the University of London, the Institute of Linguists, Paris-Sorbonne and North London University. In 2001, Greg began work with his wife, Kate Mosse, devising and designing the online reading and creative writing website www.mosselabyrinth.co.uk which received millions of visits as it grew into a fully fledged creative community. Greg has also judged a range of literary awards including the NCR and the Harpers Bazaar/Orange Short Story Competition.
