I’m here to help you get your best writing done.
Whatever your struggle, I’ve probably been there, or I’ve helped a client with the same issue.
Enrolling now for 2026
A 1:1 coaching package will give you the solid foundations for success with your academic writing project.
Having worked with hundreds of academic writers over the past 20 years, I know that writing is about more than just the words on the page.
My holistic approach allows you to work on the mindset, message and craft of academic writing to help you become a more sucessful, confident and prolific academic writer.
This is for you if any of the following apply:
- You have a deadline to meet, but are struggling to get started.
- You have difficulty finding the time to write.
- You struggle with conveying your argument in a logical way.
- You would like accountability to reach your writing goals.
- You want to become a more confident academic writer but don’t know where to start.
- You have been offered the opportunity to publish your work but are struggling with crippling imposter syndrome.
- Your supervisor has suggested you work with a writing coach, tutor or editor.
- You are a mature student returning to academia after a time away.
- You are an academic or graduate student with English as a second language.
My 1:1 writing coaching is tailored to your needs and will give you the confidence, clarity and tools you need to get your writing finished.

While I’ve worked with writers in many academic disciplines over the years, I am particularly interested in working with academic clients in education, applied linguistics, health and social care, human rights and business or finance.
I’d love to hear about your project and see if we’re a good fit. If not, I’ll do my best to point you toward a colleague who can help.
Price depends on number of sessions per month and includes feedback on texts produced during our time together/ sent to me before our first session.

FAQ
What if I don’t have time to write?
Because I’m a business owner, a mum and a university lecturer, I’m all about saving time when it comes to writing. We’ll find a way for you to fit writing into your schedule in a way that works for you, and the regular submission deadlines we agree on will keep you accountable. Remember, that by doing the work of writing a book now, you’ll be building a legacy that you’ll be able to leverage indefinitely.
How long will it take to implement what you teach me?
Because we’ll be meeting regularly, you’ll implement teaching from our coaching sessions as we go along. I have almost two decades experience of teaching writing, and I know that the route to success isn’t to teach you about writing and then send you off on your merry way, but to give you feedback, support and accountability as you write.
I don’t feel confident with my writing
I have worked with writers of all skill levels, and I firmly believe that if you are reading this, you can learn to write well. One of my biggest joys is seeing my writers self-critiquing their writing after working with me for a short time!
I feel overwhelmed by all the ideas in my head
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all your ideas, a 1:1 package is perfect for you. My zone of genius is helping writers get their complicated ideas onto the page using my talk.write.done approach.
What hours will we meet?
I am based in the UK and generally hold calls in my morning/ afternoon. I am able to give feedback using video and screen capture if preferred, although I recommend at least two live coaching calls.
I won’t just teach you how to write; you’ll get the work done too.
If you already know you’d like to work with me to make some serious progress on your writing project, then you can email me to check availability and reserve your spot.
I’m here to give you the confidence, skills and encouragement you need and the accountability to finally finish your writing.
We’ll be working closely together, so to make sure that my approach is right for you and that the project is a good fit for my expertise, please book a free, no obligation call now or drop me an email.
