I am a freelance writer and have been regularly published in magazines and anthologies. My creative writing workshops focus on each individual's writing goals, building on the basics of plot, character, setting, theme etc. The courses are designed to be enjoyable as well as productive, with writing exercises that spark ideas, build camaraderie and provide a framework for those who want to write on a regular basis.

Under normal circumstances, my courses are held in Farnham and Chawton, near Alton, but I'm now able to offer classes online. This provides flexibility as to how and when classes are delivered.  If you have a work in progress and would like one-off, or on-going support, please contact me to see if I can help.


In addition, I work alongside businesses to perfect their corporate message, developing brand 'storytelling' for internal or external communications, pitches to potential investors etc.

With an MA in Creative Writing and Authorship from the University of Sussex, and a background in HR and non-profit, I have the experience to help you write creatively for work, study or pleasure.
