About me

I'm a professional ghostwriter, bidwriter, proofreader and editor with a friendly and good humoured approach. I write novels, non-fiction, (auto)biographies, screenplays, content, tenders and funding proposals for clients. I am also a qualified trainer and coach, using NLP.

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. I specialise in personal development - helping people to be the best they can be - removing barriers to success and building confidence. I also work in education and personal / organisational development. I'm an INLPTA accredited NLP Trainer and Master Practitioner, a qualified Life Coach (AUNLP) and a member of ANLP.

In addition, I am spiritual (not religious), in a very down-to-earth way. I am a reiki practitioner & angelic reiki master teacher, particularly interested in channeling / inspiration. I help to oversee a MBS centre, supporting people with their personal and spiritual development.

I'm highly skilled, reliable and proficient and have a number of delighted clients - for autobiographies, fiction (literary, horror, comedy, romance, fantasy), non-fiction, self-help, and screenwriting (movie, TV and theatre scripts). I also write funding bids, since I have years of experience in writing bids, tenders and proposals in statutory, charitable and voluntary sector fundraising.

Some examples-
- millionaire businessman's life story and business philosophy
- young entrepreneur's guide
- children's young people's guide to divorce and separation
- psychics' / mediums' autobiographies
- business plans
- training resources for courses
- vampire and zombie horror novels
- 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 multinational corporates, retailers and SMEs - e.g. therapy site
- European funding bids
- numerous tenders in the health & social care sector
- charity fundraising letters
- personal letters
- hypnosis scripts

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.
