With 26 years of experience in theatre, broadcast media, and coaching, I���ve developed a deep love of character and what drives them. My coaching style is warm, thoughtful, and practical���I believe writing a book can be hard sometimes, but more often than not, it should be fun.

As an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach, I specialize in story development, with a particular focus on character backstory and emotional depth. I���ve helped writers develop powerful, satisfying stories that hold up to editorial scrutiny���and two of my clients have books coming out this year.

I hold an MA in Professional Writing, and my most recent novel, Behind the Seams, reached the semifinals of the BookLife Fiction Prize Contest, scoring 10/10 in every category. I���ve also been commissioned to write a play, and my first TV show���based around celebrity characters���is available to stream online.
