Support for writers who live in the shadows, tell strange stories, and want to do it well.

Whether you’re writing your first novel, polishing a short story, or teaching the next generation of storytellers, I offer hands-on support for writers and educators who value voice, structure, and emotional punch.

Here’s how we can work together:

Book Coaching

Write your novel with guidance, structure, and accountability.

If you’re struggling to finish or stuck in the murky middle, book coaching gives you the support to keep going — and the editorial feedback to make your story stronger. Includes monthly Zoom calls, line or developmental feedback, and weekly check-ins.

Editing Services

Line edits, copy edits, and developmental feedback for fiction writers.

Whether you’re preparing for publication or trying to whip a messy draft into shape, I’ll help you sharpen your story while staying true to your voice. Ideal for dark fiction, thrillers, and stories that bite.

Creative Writing Workshops

Lively, story driven workshops for schools, libraries, and community groups.

I run hands-on, inspiring writing sessions for young people and adults across the UK. If you’re looking for an author visit, one-off workshop, or full programme with real outcomes (like published anthologies), I’ve got you covered.
