Dear Fledging Novelist… Read my advice letter for fiction writers.
I’ve taught fiction writing to adults for twelve years and have many happy students. Several have published their work or won short story prizes. I’d say my teaching style is warm, supportive and motivating. I encourage students to read deeply and broadly and offer plenty of inspiring material and exercises. I’m skilled at developmental editing and giving astute, constructive feedback to help you make the best of your work-in-progress. Read what my students have to say in their testimonials.
I have an MA and PhD in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia. Before teaching creative writing, I taught English as a Foreign Language and English for Academic Purposes for over fifteen years, so my teaching skills are well-developed. I’ve taught Creative Writing at University College Dublin, the Irish Writers Centre, Kingston University, West Cork Literary Festival, City Lit and the University of East Anglia. Most of my teaching is now delivered via Zoom.
