Me.

I have spent the whole of my working life telling stories. Whether as an opera singer in my first career, or as a stage director, creating productions of opera, theatre and dance, or in my own writing. As well as novels, I have written plays and operas. For fifteen years I was a tutor on the Creative Writing Programme, at the University of Sussex and then under the umbrella of New Writing South. I have been a mentor for the Literary Consultancy and a tutor for the Arvon Foundation. I love nothing more than working with writers on their stories, and am continually exploring new ways to help writers create the best book they can, in every kind of genre. Most of this work I now do on a one-to-one, freelance basis, but I also run small writing groups in my hometown of Lewes, East Sussex.
