Want my help as you write your story?

Whether you’re writing fiction or non-fiction I can put my wealth of experience as a writing coach and editor at your disposal.

Here’s how:

  • Coaching and mentoring

    Are you looking for support as you get started as a writer? Maybe you’ve lost your way and want guidance and encouragement. Or perhaps you want to revise your work and get it ready to pitch. Or you’re looking for advice as you decide on your publishing pathway. I offer single 1:1 sessions or I can design a mentoring package for you, whether you are writing fiction or non-fiction.

  • Teaching and speaking

    I’ve been teaching creative writing for over two decades. Visit my speaker page to find out about current courses and past talks and workshops. I can run a workshop, short course or give a talk on a huge range of subjects. Also visit my Fictionfire Courses page for details of online self-study courses.

  • Editorial help

    Have you finished your novel, memoir or non-fiction book? Do you need help to revise and polish it? I offer appraisals and edits - whether big picture developmental/structural edits or nitty-gritty line/copy edits. I offer a submission package service too. Good editing makes your work shine and gives you the confidence to send it out into the world.
