need help with your writing project?
With over eight years experience in publishing, I’ve gained plenty of insight from working on ‘both sides on the fence’. I worked at Curtis Brown Literary Agency, before turning author myself. In addition to publishing my novels, I’ve written short stories and articles for media outlets as diverse as The Guardian and The Daily Mail, Woman & Home and LitHub. I work as a mentor and creative writing tutor for Curtis Brown Creative and run a writing workshop in Cambridge, UK.
My full portfolio can be found on Reedsy.
So how can I help you?
I offer editorial services and mentoring for fiction writers, as well as copywriting for businesses.
