Writers’ Services
All the support a new writer needs to complete their first book. I offer writers services to help new writers create the best book they can.
These services include Proofreading, Editing, Commentary, Manuscript Critique – even Ghost writing, if that’s for more your style! Individual mentoring sessions can be booked via The Storyteller’s Academy membership at a discounted rate, or as a standalone service.
PROOFREADING
Proofreading is the process of reviewing a final written draft. By proofreading your writing, you can detect any errors and ensure accuracy prior to release or publishing.
WRITTEN COMMENTARY
Many writers benefit from comments written alongside their work which give insight into the clarity, style, structure and ‘readability’ of their writing.
EDITING & PROOFREADING (COMBINED)
Some writers prefer an editorial service to a commentary. This means that I work through your manuscript (or the parts of it you want to be looked at), changing, rephrasing and restructuring it.
MANUSCRIPT CRITIQUE
Honest, constructive insights to enable the writer to make changes and produce the absolute best manuscript possible.
GHOST WRITING
If you are someone who needs to write a book but lacks the time, know-how or even the inclination – Ghost writing is for you.
INDIVIDUAL MENTORING SESSIONS – ONLINE
Individual mentoring is invaluable for helping you see your way through the maze when you are working on your projects. You can get new ideas, check on whether you’re making your current ideas work for you, plus that vital accountability. Sessions are delivered over Zoom.
Joining The Storytellers’ Academy gives you a 1:1 hour long mentoring session with me. Additional 1:1 sessions can be booked by Storytellers’ Academy members at a discounted rate of £57. (Valued at £97 when bought separately from a package.)
Sure I’ll read your boring novel … said no reader ever.
Are you writing stories that no one will ever read? 'Sure, I'll read your boring novel. The way you've told it is like wading through mud, your characters speak like robots and you've written lots of dull and pointless description, but I know you've spent time writing...

What Does Show Don’t Tell Mean In Writing?
The advice writers are most often given is ‘show don’t tell’. In Facebook writing groups, critique groups, writers’ circles, creative writing workshops, the mantra is ‘show don’t tell’. What does it even mean? What are you supposed to achieve with that? It sounds confusing. It sounds like you’re meant to draw pictures for your readers rather than write them a story.
