sometimes a midwife,
sometimes a therapist,
sometimes a cosmetic surgeon:
the book doctor is here to help you write your book

Welcome to my website. It contains information about my work, as well as resources on writing and publishing. My blog is usually updated several times a week with fresh items of content: tips on writing, notes on craft, weekly writing experiments, reviews of useful books and resources, commentary on publishing, and round-ups on the worlds of books and writing.

Events
Festival of Writing, York, 13-15 September 2013
I’ll be teaching a mini-course on the Four Elements of Writing and running shorter workshops on How To Write A Sentence and Editing For Writers, and I’ll also be doing lots of book doctoring. More information and booking details are available from the good people of the Writers’ Workshop.
