Writers!
Need a helping hand to achieve your publishing dreams? Look no further. My focus is on developing your skills as a writer and as an editor of your own work. I offer developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, mentoring - any one or more of which might be perfect for you, depending on where you are along your writing journey. Hope Cove Writers' RetreatsI host my popular Writers' Retreat Weekends at the Cottage Hotel, Hope Cove twice a year. Book your place now!
It's an opportunity to meet other writers face-to-face, and to learn about their writing journeys and from each other. Our sessions included discussions on writing topics pertinent to those present, and reading and reviewing each others' work-in-progress. Lovely venue. Wonderful food. Great company! Advance booking, especially of the accommodation is essential as the hotel is very popular and places on the retreat with me are limited. Online workshopsLooking for inspiration?
The Wednesday Writers Online offer a series of creative writing workshops to kickstart your writing and keep you ticking. Hosted by yours truly and presented by Kerry Hadley (PhD in Creative Writing), there are more mind-stretching workshops scheduled for 2025 and you are welcome to join any/all that interest you.
Nine Online
Have an ongoing project or one you'd like to start/finish in 2025? Each year, Nine Online offers 3 series of 3 online workshops in which I provide guidance on writing craft and, together, we review the work-in-progress of each other. Commit to a single 'term'. Then take a break, work on your project on your own, and return for another term when you are ready.
Editing the RedPen Way![]() Finished draft of your work and need editorial guidance? Depending on where you are on your publishing journey, I can offer one-on-one mentoring, including developmental editing, copy-editing and proofreading. My Kindle book RedPen Editing: 10 steps to successful self-editing explains my simple process for editing without overwhelm. As a first step, I recommend you buy that book. It's only £2.99! |
