About Me
I'm a professional ghostwriter, published literary writer, biographer, screenwriter, comedy writer, horror writer, proofreader and editor, with a friendly and good humoured approach.
I work flexibly and creatively to provide the writing you want - developing your story, script or project, in your own tone and voice, to your own specifications. I'm not precious about my writing, like some writers. It's your work, after all! I aim only to delight you.
I'm also a trainer, coach and consultant in NLP, education and personal organisational development, so I have business development skills too.
I'm highly skilled, reliable and proficient and have a number of delighted clients - for autobiographies, fiction, non-fiction and self-help, and screenwriting (movie, TV and theatre scripts).
Some examples-
- millionaire businessman's life story and business philosophy
- young entrepreneur's guide
- children's young people's guide to divorce and separation
- vampire novel
- Bollywood romantic comedy movie script
- comedy sketch writing and stand-up
- 4 drama theatre productions
- historical fantasy novel
- teen magical fantasy novel
- web content for therapy site
- European funding bid
- charity fundraising letter
- business plans
- training resources for courses
I've worked for the past 20+ years in all aspects of writing - from creative writing (and tutoring), through copywriting, marketing and promotional materials, writing successful press releases to technical and report-writing. I also write grant applications, donor sponsorship letters and funding bids.
We can work by telephone, email, face-to-face, skype, webcam, mp3 recording...however works best for you.
I am a certified NLP Trainer, and my practice in Neurolinguistic programming gives the added value of using language extremely effectively to achieve your desired results, and press all the right buttons.
I have had a novel - 'Smother' published by Diva (Millivres Press), stories in award-winning anthologies, and numerous magazine articles, reviews and short stories published in national press.
I had a short film - 'Rebound' - starring Ruth Jones of 'Gavin & Stacey' - commissioned and produced by the UK Film Council, and a pilot sit-com selected by a national TV company.
I have also edited several books and proof-read many more (I used to be an English teacher, but I'm all right now!)
I've even written and performed stand-up comedy!
I take on writing projects of all kinds - ghost-writing, books, press releases, letters, fundraising applications, grants, presentations, reports, evaluation, editing, copywriting, proof-reading.
