How I can help you
As a writing coach I can work with you in any way you want.
- You currently write as a hobby but want to know if you could write professionally.
- You have a novel on the back burner and need coaching support to keep going, or manage your time and confidence.
- You have a brilliant idea for a non-fiction book and wonder where to start with it.
Submitting a Book Proposal
I offer a service for if you have a good idea of the non-fiction book you want to write.
I can help you plan the content, chapters, your biography, and the pitch to a publisher or an agent.
So many books don't end up being published because writers are unsure of this step.
I have a growing list of clients who are now published authors.
How I became a writer
I am a published author of two non-fiction self-help guides (see Amazon.)
I was commissioned to write the books for parents, using my teaching background.
As a spin-off from these, I was commissioned to write features, initially on education.
My first feature was on starting secondary school, for the Guardian.
For ten years I have been writing for all the broadsheets - The Times, Guardian, Telegraph, the Independent on Sunday, a regular career page in the i newspaper, a range of magazines and websites including women's magazines, health websites and parenting websites.
You can see a couple of my features here:
