Reflective Resources
Original Ink also creates reflective books and storymaking resources for teachers, writers, and creative practitioners. Most of these are still in development — but you can already explore and download our Storymaking Lesson Plans, with a free lesson plan script available when you sign up or make your first purchase.
Teacher CPD & Resources
Original Ink doesn’t just create books for children — it also supports teachers to bring storymaking into the classroom.

Daniel has worked with schools across Bradford, Doncaster and beyond, leading immersive workshops with children and delivering CPD sessions for teachers. He has trained teachers to use the same pedagogical tools that underpin his own workshops — tools that can be adapted across different areas of the curriculum to spark creativity and deepen learning.
​
As well as school-based training, Daniel has spoken at national and international conferences, including the UKLA Conference, the National Association of Writers in Education Conference, and events for networks of schools across the UK.
