Victoria is available for festivals, literary events, bookshops, libraries, universities,
book clubs, and online gatherings — in-person, hybrid, or online. She brings warmth,
depth, and a wealth of lived experience to every event.
Nature Writing & Memoir
On writing the natural world from the inside — memoir, grief, and the land as both subject and teacher. Drawing on both books and two decades of practice.
The Wild Apothecary
Plants, folklore, and the living knowledge of hedgerows and gardens. On creating a biodiverse apothecary garden and the teas, tinctures and balms it yields.
Disability, Care & Creative Life
Writing through chronic illness, caregiving, and the margins. On finding a creative life in the spaces between care — and why those stories matter.
Wild Women & Community
On building creative community — from founding Wild Women Press in 1999 to the global Wild Women Writers' Salons. The power of gathering women writers together.
Orkney & Place
On uprooting in midlife and learning a new landscape from the ground up. Belonging, ecology, and the deep history carried in island soil and sea.
Ecologies of Care
On the connections between tending a garden, tending a family, and tending a community. Nature, body, and the small acts of care that make a life.
Victoria is available for in-person events across the UK and online worldwide. For festival and trade enquiries please include event dates and a brief outline of the event.
