Welcome


My work and this site is a place to support other writers do the thing they do best, create stories.


cropped-usqalum_0164-3.jpgAs an avid reader and writer, I believe whole-heartedly in the power of story; there are few forms that can bring together the political, the intellectual, and the emotional so effectively.

If you have a story buried deep inside you, but you don’t know how to start, or if you’re working on a project and have hit a brick wall, the blogs posted on this site and uploaded to my YouTube channel are for you.

Each week I post a blog and video containing advice on writing, publishing, and marketing.

I also love to share my reflections on how to live an artistic life, be more productive, and remain creative fulfilled.

With five degrees in writing and communication under my belt (including a doctorate), multiple published articles, stints at regional and metropolitan newspapers, and travel magazines, I have been dedicated to the craft of writing for over fifteen years.

Stories hold the potential to change lives and minds, and the content on this website is designed to reflect the real challenges writers encounter in their creative practice. And, ideally, to offer you with the support, tools, and tactics, needed to move through them. 

Nothing would bring me more pleasure than to assist you along this path to publication through the blogs and videos available on this site.

Welcome, I am so glad that you’re here.

‘Can someone please make this into a TV series? This is a fabulous read and I want to see Liam and Daff on the small screen.’ – Carol Seeley
