Services, Online Classes & Courses
Give your book the attention it deserves!
I am a story consultant, specialising in developmental editing, beta reading and manuscript assessment. I do also have a sales and marketing background, once upon a time, long, long ago. If you are in need of any of these services, please message me for a chat. Consultations are free and without commitment. Include details of your project: word count; genre; draft version; what kind of editing or other service you think you require. Depending on your requirements, I may ask you for further information.
If you’re unsure, take this quiz to find out where you’re at on your road to publication, and what your best next steps could be.
Alternatively, if you are interested in my online classes, currently running workshops and estimated completion times are:
Class 1: Writing Mini-Course Short Story Booster – increase your chances of rising to the top of the litmag slush pile with these insider insights of what makes a short story bloom and boom. (1 week class)
Class 2: Forging Description – fire up your descriptive prowess to deepen your narratives, set scenes alight, and squeeze the bellows onto the embers of your characterisations to raise the temperature of your technique! (1-2 week class)
Class 3: Smelting Personas – fan the flames of the previous class to ignite your characters into authentic, driven beings with plot purpose. Using emotional filters, narrative point-of-view and deep character point-of-view, blast your character development abilities to a higher octane level. (1-2 week class)
COURSE How to Plot Your Story Arcs – full course on novel plotting using story arcs as the core narrative drive, bringing the emotional growth of your characters and high intensity action together to form gripping stories.

Please message me for availability/start dates with the name of the course you are interested in and some basic information on where you are with your own writing at this stage, along with previous experience (just to give me some idea of your current writing level). Especially for the Story Arcs course. Estimated completion times for all classes and courses depend on the author and the project.
