I’m Flo, and I’m a culture professional, freelance writer, and coach. My favourite thing to do, both professionally and personally, is to support people’s creativity and build community.
I’m committed to inclusive practice that supports and empowers people, whatever their background or access needs, and I undertake regular professional development in this area. I’m an accredited coach via Relational Dynamics 1st and Culture At Work.
Nature connection and environmental responsibility is centred in my practice. I have committed to climate-positive action as part of Culture Declares Emergency and I’m studying Permaculture Design with Small Things CIC.
About my professional practice
As a culture professional I have over a decade’s experience across strategy, programme design and evaluation, communications and audience development.
Whether I’m strategising how to align action with policy, developing new ways to engage audiences, supporting creative practitioners 1:1 or turning data into compelling stories that show real impact, I bring a wealth of skill, experience and friendly professionalism to help meet your goals.
The work I’m proudest of includes achievements great and small. I’ve scoped strategic interventions at city level, built new projects from the ground up, managed large projects like the International Literature Exchange, and worked with creatives from every continent except Antarctica.
Currently, I’m supporting the development of a new city-wide culture strategy and running a grants programme at Norwich City Council, and I’m also the Membership & Creative Development Lead at a creative health organisation called Lapidus International.

About my creative practice
As a writer, I work across poetry, fiction and non-fiction. I am the author of three books of poetry: peel me Watcher (Guillemot, 2025), girlhoof (Salò, 2024) and the other body (Guillemot, 2021). I have been a SPILL Think Tank artist in residence (2024) and the recipient of a DYCP grant from Arts Council England (2023). Individual pieces have appeared in publications including Propel, The White Review, Magma, The Interpreter’s House, Datableed, and many more.
I’ve taught writing and associated skills for The Poetry School and National Centre for Writing, and I run workshops, courses and mentoring opportunities for writers of all stripes.
I’m particularly interested in writing that addresses ecologies, embodiment, queerness, neurodivergence, disability and speculative fictions.
My short writer’s biography is: Flo Reynolds is the author of peel me Watcher (Guillemot, 2025), girlhoof (Salo Press, 2024) and the other body (Guillemot Press, 2021).
