Make It

How it Works

Here at InQ, we have an effective three-step process to help you understand what is going on. Hiring a consultant can be tough and challenging, but we’ve got your back to effectively help your organisation get the best we can. 

Step 1: discovery call

This is where we will consult with you to understand what you need and how we can help you achieve those dreams. We recommend coming prepared with a simple idea that we can work from to make the process as easy to follow as possible. The clearer the idea, the easier it is for us to follow your lead. This could be an EDI-related or curriculum challenge, or a need for specialised training and facilitation. 

We will then conduct a needs assessment for your organisation, where we look at what’s going on and how we can help. We will need transparency here to be as helpful as possible. We work with you to understand your existing materials, goals, policies, and materials and consider the root causes of student need within your organisation.

Based upon our discussion with you and your team, we deliver a detailed proposal which outlines the scope of the work we will carry out, clear deliverables, project timeline, and the fixed fee. 

For more information, we recommend you consult our guide on how to effectively get the most out of your consultation.

Step 2: Strategy and co-creation

You have officially completed the discovery stage, and we know what we need from you. Great! We delve into the bespoke work and combine our expertise to effectively deliver our best work using the most up-to-date advice possible. 

We then develop the materials. Our work is informed by active roles ensuring our solutions are active, timely, and relevant to your organisation. We then review these and provide close communication, key milestones for your team to review drafts and provide feedback, ensuring the final project aligns perfectly with your institutional capacity. 

Step 3: Delivery and implementation

We deliver the complete, finalised project and secure your acceptance. Then, we conduct facilitation workshops or provide additional materials to ensure your team is confident and prepared to deploy the strategies successfully. 

We can then arrange a post-project check-in to monitor the effectiveness and address any other challenges, solidifying the long-term impact of the work we do for your organisation.

The People

Eri (They/them)

With a background in creative writing education, founder of InknQuill, and long-standing record of publications as an active, published writer and qualified educational practitioner, Eri specialises in developing inclusive curricula for neurodiverse, queer, and other minority students. InknQuill’s courses ensure that literature and theory are blended together to effectively develop a cohesive programme of offerings, which are sure to inspire an intriguing understanding of literature and creative writing practice and develop ‘intentionally disruptive’ practitioners who develop creative work which is ready to be published. To find more about this side of their work go to the Course Offerings page. 

Outside of their responsibilities as founder of INQ, Eri serves on the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion board for their course at the University of Nottingham, Accessibility Liaison for Quer Midlands, and serves on the ambassador board for the young people’s charity Just Like Us.

Eri specialises and has experience in the following areas and would be thrilled to work with you on any of the following

  • English is a subject which can be hard to plan for equality and diversity within its curriculum. With set texts for English classes, the emphasis is on developing neuroqueer-friendly strategies to enhance the learners progress and enjoyment of the curriculum they are within. 

    With the rise of students requiring additional support, and the well-documented experiences of minority students feeling excluded, Eri has lived experience in understanding the trials of being “seen” within the work that students learn and that they provide. 

  • If you need assistance with the facilitation of creative writing workshops or want to understand how to further develop your ability to deliver these workshops in a way that engages with students' work, then you are in the right place. Creative writing facilitation is more about setting up workshops; it's about developing the workshops themselves to ensure that they acknowledge the power dynamics at play within these specialised environments. 

  • Eri has worked in the education sector and knows how to effectively navigate the challenges of their own minority status within the education system. Suppose your organisation wants tips on how to embrace the diversity of your teaching staff effectively. In that case, Eri has tips which will help you achieve an environment where teachers of all creeds can effectively bring themselves into their teaching.
