I’m a multi-award-winning author & editor, mentor, layout designer and book creator, short story judge, creative writing tutor, HSC English tutor, Service NSW Creative Kids Provider, and inclusive creativity advocate.
I love what I do! Every day I get to help writers achieve their goals – whether that’s polishing their writing through editing and manuscript assessments, developing their projects or careers through mentorship, or getting their work to readers with professional book layout designs (print & ebook), one-stop-shop publishing assistance, and promotional items, including designing authors’ online platforms, writing back cover blurbs, and synopses for submission to publishers.
I also teach creative writing, life story writing, publishing and author promotion – in workshops, or one-on-one, or via my suite of on-demand courses.
There are lots of testimonials and samples to view on my website!
