Writing Consultant
I’ve been a writing and manuscript consultant/editor for over 20 years. With me, you will recognize the strengths and weakness of your pieces of writing or manuscript (and what’s missing), as well as the most compelling focus and structure for your work.
Workshops & Retreats
For over 30 years, I’ve been teaching writing across Canada and in the UK. Always interested in new teaching opportunities, I consider invitations for an hour, several days, weeks, or months. Send me your invitation or idea about a workshop.
