About Me
I would love to be able to say that I was born to write and that I’ve been writing my whole life but that would not be true (although I did win first prize at the Kettering Eisteddfod for creative writing when I was 15, which I am still rather proud of!)
The truth is that writing kind of found me. People started to ask me to do their writing for them and before I knew it, I had had articles published, edited a book and written the copy for a few websites. And the requests keep on coming.
Why do people ask me to write for them and what does this mean for you?
I listen. I love hearing other people’s stories. I have a knack of getting right to the heart of what is important to them (I guess that’s why I am also a coach!)
I see the best in people and so when I am writing their business copy, CV or personal statement, I make sure that the thing that makes them unique and special shines through.
I LOVE words. I have a very geeky interest in grammar and language generally and a particular interest in the way in which the use of language affects our motivation and mental wellbeing. I avidly read books on neuroscience. So you can rest assured that I choose my words very carefully!
I am passionate. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I often get on my soap box about issues that are important to me. If I see injustice or inequality (particularly when it comes to education), I just can’t let it drop. I will articulate your cause or message with the same energy and passion.
I am an out-of-the-box thinker – one of the many blessings of having a neurodivergent brain!
I’m concise and accurate. After 18+ years of marking essays as an English Teacher and Examiner, I am an expert at cutting out the waffle and the comma splicing.
Oh yes, and most importantly, I have had my own tuition and coaching business now for the best part of a decade. My own website copy and blog attracts the kind of clients that I love working with and am best suited to help. I will make sure yours does too.
If your purpose in life is to help others improve their wellbeing, let me help you to get your message out there.
Your services are needed now more than ever.
