Are you a writer who would benefit from some professional story guidance? Perhaps you’d like to check your story works, that it’s going to get good reader reviews, and it’s in a good place to get the attention of agents and publishers?
I’ve mentored many writers all over the world, who have gone on to have their books published, their plays produced, and their screenplays win awards. I can help you.

How do the online writer mentoring sessions work and how much do they cost?
The online sessions consist of a video call. They’re half an hour long, as and when you need them. You simply need to email me to book one.
The cost is £25 per session, but if you feel the advice given hasn’t helped you, I’ll refund the full amount.
All levels of writing experience welcome
What happens during the writing mentoring session?
We’ll talk about the story / non-fiction piece you’re working on with a view to making it as compelling as possible for your readers or audience.
By asking a few key questions I’ll try and identify any plot weaknesses, structural issues, character problems or missed opportunities – all with a view to helping you create the most compelling version of your story.
By the way, your session doesn’t have to be story development. It can also be pitching practice, pitch-writing support, or devising your route to market strategy.
Why choose me for your writing mentor?
I’ve been involved in the writing team for 30+ films and 18+ plays. Plus, I lead the weekly Nottingham Playhouse Writers Room workshop, I’m the writer-in-residence at Writers Retreat UK and I’m an Honorary Fellow in the English / Drama department of Nottingham University.
This all sounds great. What else do you offer?

- Monthly in person writing workshops in Nottingham
- Weekly writing workshops at Nottingham Playhouse
- Workshops and mentoring at Writers Retreat UK
