I’ve been writing and coaching writers for four years now, specialising in fantasy across subgenres. I’ve worked with writers at every stage — from first-time novelists to published authors -, helping them refine their story and craft.

I also bring a perspective shaped by living with invisible illness to my coaching. My lived experience informs my empathetic, honest approach to my work as a book coach, helping writers engage deeply with their stories in a way that respects their pace, energy and values.

Working With You

I believe every story deserves thoughtful guidance, not templates or formulas. My approach is therefore deep: I help you see your story clearly, identify its strengths, and uncover the shape it wants to take, all while keeping your voice and creative values front and center.

When I’m not helping writers, you’ll find me reading, writing fantasy, sipping tea underneath a blanket or helping other ‘spoonies’ live well alongside their illness.

Whether I’m writing about identity, creativity, or the messy time that we are in now as a society, I try to do it with honesty and heart.

If you’re ready to explore your project and see if we’re a good fit, you can apply to work with me by filling out the interest questionnaire.

A Bit More About Me

I’m a writer at heart, a story mentor by calling, and an empathetic soul by nature.

I believe genuine kindness is a superpower.

I love the sound of rain on my windows, good books I can get lost in, old towns that take me back in time, and stories that make an impact on my soul.

My writing explores themes such as illness, creativity, grief, resilience, and reimagining life after and amid struggles.

Let me know what fuels your writing!
