Alongside my work as a writer, I deliver two courses designed to help people discover what they want to say, and become much better at saying it.

Finding Your Story

Finding Your Story is for anyone who feels there might be a book, a story or simply an idea inside them, but isn’t quite sure where to begin. We explore what makes a story worth telling, how to find the thread that holds it together, how to develop your own voice and, most importantly, how to get beyond the blank page and start writing. You don’t need to arrive thinking of yourself as a writer. You just need curiosity, something you care about and a willingness to explore where it might take you.

‘This course has been life-altering for me, taking me from dreaming about writing to actually considering myself a writer.’

Write to Win

Write to Win is about something different: using words to make things happen. It’s for people who write as part of their working lives — emails, proposals, presentations, pitches, reports, social posts or anything else where they need somebody to listen, understand, remember or act. Rather than simply teaching the usual rules of “good writing”, we look at the psychology behind why some words connect and others don’t. It’s practical, interactive and built around one deceptively simple idea: if you understand the person you’re writing for, you’ll become a much more powerful writer.

‘Brilliantly practical and a no-brainer for anyone who needs to sell something through words.’
