Versatile Writer, Tutor, Editor
 
          
 


Background:

 

I am a versatile writer with a range of publications covering professional reports, strategic plans, non-fiction, children's fiction and young adult/adult crossover fiction.  I believe that the principles of good, clean and engaging writing apply across all genres. My published works include 8 works of fiction, 1 non-fiction book and 5 professional reports. My experience includes workshops and presentations on a wide range of creative fiction topics, editing, proofreading, school visits and also on professional writing. I have mentored writers as well as conducted a number of constructive and balanced manuscript assessments and edits. I enjoy presenting to and interacting with other writers - of all ages. My style, whether presenting, critiquing or mentoring, is practical, friendly and helpful.
