Fiction, Non-fiction & Journalism
Do you dream of…
setting free your imagination through a novel
sharing your expertise in a non-fiction book
seeing your byline in newspapers and magazines
creating a brilliant money-spinning blog
presenting your family with a beautifully written memoir
impressing colleagues and clients with your writing skills?
Whether you’d like time to explore your talent or need a swift solution to meet a deadline, I’m passionately committed to bringing out your most powerful prose.
As a successful novelist and award-winning journalist I’m immersed in the secrets of my craft. I’m also a highly effective mentor. At the Edinburgh International Book Festival my talks on how to reinvent yourself as a novelist were standing room only.
One of my testimonials is from a complete beginner who now has a publisher, another is from a professional author. I’ve helped a 21-year-old graduate break into the media and a forty-something change careers to become a high earning travel journalist.
Thanks to my years as a commissioning editor on national newspapers in the UK and a programme maker in television I have a wealth of insider’s tips on how to market and publicise your work.
Courses and workshops teach you in a group. But the most direct and cost effective route to unlocking your potential is through the focus, support and confidentiality of personal coaching. One-to-one coaching helped launch my career as a novelist and could work wonders for you too.
This is your opportunity to enlist me as your closest ally in producing writing that captivates.
