Hi, I’m Chris Middlehurst. I’ve spent my career supporting education, libraries and publishing, with a love of storytelling, reading, and helping people engage with books and ideas. My work as a Library Assistant and English teacher has shaped a collaborative, learner-centered approach to projects, events and writing that brings people together around culture and community. When I’m not in the library or teaching, I freelance in editing and proofreading, write film and book reviews, and contribute to magazines. I enjoy creative writing, volunteering at film festivals, and helping communities run events that celebrate culture and learning.…Hi, I’m Chris Middlehurst.
