Welcome to Write by Mirabel

I am a young grandma, a teacher, and the eldest daughter of a typical Maltese family. I have always been very enthusiastic about storytelling, writing and books. I especially love sharing folktales, fairy tales and legends.

It’s not too much of a leap from a love of storytelling into writing. But there is a particular reason that gave me the momentum to make it happen. Two of my grandchildren have Food Allergies and wherever we go we carry a backpack with autoinjectors and medicines.

I wanted to write an adventure story that raises awareness to food allergy safety especially at social events that centre around food. Hence, Zeb, Jet and the Ice-Cream Calamity. An adventure featuring a heroic fox cub and playful puppy. The book comes with a song and sheet music as well as a variety of differentiated tasks that encourage children to find out more about allergies and food allergy safety.

I have devised a series of workshops based on the book and the theme of allergy safety. I deliver these in primary schools and at local venues such as libraries.

I also deliver creative writing sessions for adults at venues such as libraries and universities.

Please do get in touch with any questions you may have so we can have an initial, complimentary chat.

I look forward to working with you.
