Welcome to my website. I am a teacher, editor and book doctor, with a particular interest in contemplative education as well as holistic and intuitive approaches to writing and creativity.

Via the following links you can find more information about me, my work , and my approach to editing and teaching, as well as endorsements from people I’ve worked with. You can also find recommended readings and links on writing and publishing and other resources. You can also read some of my own writing.

My blog features occasional writing experiments, as well as posts on topical matters and reviews on books and other resources that might be useful for writers. You can also follow me on Instagram, Substack, Twitter, or Tumblr.

You can contact me to be added to my mailing list, or subscribe to my blog, where future events and classes will be announced.

Forthcoming events
Masterclasses coming to Zoom in 2024:

* Beginnings, 8 January 2024

* Voice, 5 February 2024

* Character, 4 March 2024

And in future months: setting and situation; story and plot; point of view and narration; showing and telling; structure and form; genre and readership; endings. A prose style intensive in the summer will look at: parts of speech; sentences and paragraphs; voice and style. More information on this series of masterclasses can be found in this post on my blog.
