Do you want to write fiction for children or adults but don't know where to start? Or have you written some work and need some feedback? Do you need a way into the literary world? I can help.
I am the author of seventeen published books for children aged 5-14, as well as a novel for adults, a play and a former writer for BBC Radio 4 Extra.
I have a Master of Arts degree in Creative Writing with Distinction from Lancaster University. I have won and been listed for various awards including the Georgina Hawtrey-Woore Award, the International Rubery Book Award and the Bath Children's Novel Award, and was a finalist at the Northern Cultural Education Awards for my author workshops.
I have been a writing tutor and mentor since 2013, including online for the Writers Bureau, and was Children's Writer in Residence at the online Stay at Home Literary Festival and a judge for the IGGY and Litro Young Writers Prize. Two of my former students (Norah Blakedon and Liz Mackenzie) are now published authors.
I can work with you to read and appraise your manuscript, share first-hand knowledge of being published and help get your work ready for publication. Non-fiction for children will also be considered.
Manuscript feedback via email - £200 for up to 10, 000 words, then £20 for every subsequent 1,000 words
Meetings on Zoom to discuss your work - £50 for up to one hour on Zoom
