write guide

Wherever you are in your author journey, a one-to-one mentorship will support you to achieve your writing goals. Whether you’d like a six-month mentorship package with two Zoom calls monthly and editorial hours for me to look closely at your work, or the occasional Hour of Power focused on a new project, a submissions package or publishing industry advice, I’ve got you covered. I’m absolutely passionate about supporting my author mentees through all stages of the writing and editing process and getting their work in front of editors and agents too.

Publishers, packagers, editors, animators, illustrators… Together we can collaborate to create story worlds, bring ideas to life and structure them out into world-class IP. Whether it’s your first creative project or your fiftieth, you can’t beat having another creative to bounce ideas around with, offer insights and help you uncover the heart and soul of your project and bring out its full potential. Show or series bibles, character outlines, book structures, chapter outlines, animation or live action episode - you name it, let’s do it!

I love, love, love to immerse myself in your vision and bring it to life for you, in your voice. Every project is bespoke and together we find a way to work that harnesses both of our talents to the maximum - you may like to try doing some of the writing, with my support, or perhaps take charge of the research - and just handing the whole project over to me is great too! I’ve worked completely from Zoom interviews and with outlines and rough drafts too. Together we can find your sweet spot!

My developmental edits for fiction address everything from theme and purpose/intention to character and plot arcs, pace, tone, description, consistency and reader engagement. I also offer sharp-eyed copy-edits, too. Publishers, I can happily work with authors directly or via your team. Coaches and narrative non-fiction writers, I am highly experienced in both structural and line editing for your projects too.

Know how you want to show up in the market? Great! Together we can make that a reality with a cohesive and engaging IP platform that brings clients and readers to your door. Not sure yet? Don’t worry, we can start with your brand identity, core value and positioning and go from there. My marketing and branding background meets design skills and social media savvy to share your offering with your ideal tribe of clients or readers.

Perhaps the most important section of all - the part where we look after YOU! I am a qualified breathwork facilitator and a yoga and meditation teacher with 30 years’ experience. Together we can address everything from writer’s block to social media anxiety, fears, confidence, posture issues, boundaries, routines and nervous system regulation. Your investment in you will pay you back tenfold (at least!).
