'Katherine's mentoring and feedback was invaluable and supportive for me at a time when I was ready to give up on a challenging long-term project. The combination of wise coaching and expert editorial critique, delivered sensitively and warmly, was just perfect. I really appreciated how flexible and kind Katherine was, and I can recommend her wholeheartedly to other writers, whatever stage they are at.'
Liz Flanagan, award-winning author of the Wildsmith and
Dragon Daughter series
I’m a novelist, and for the past decade I’ve mentored writers at every stage – from blank page to finished draft, from procrastination to published work.
One of my greatest joys is helping people tell the stories they’ve carried for years and supporting them to finally share those stories with the world.
Writing can be a powerful way to understand and express ourselves, connect with others, or even escape the pressures of everyday life. More than that, creativity is vital to our wellbeing. It’s not a luxury – it’s essential. That's science fact!
So, why do we find it so hard?
Because talent or time isn’t the problem.
Most of the writers I work with are already brilliant. But they’re caught in cycles of doubt, procrastination, perfectionism, and pressure, telling themselves they’ll write when they have more time, or more confidence, or less chaos.
I know, because I’ve been there.
Sometimes, I still am.
That’s why this work matters so much to me. I support writers who are tired of overthinking every word or waiting for the perfect moment and want a way forward that feels clear, honest, and actually doable.
Whether you're struggling to begin, battling through a messy middle, or working up the courage to finish, I can help.
This isn’t just about writing the book.
It’s about becoming the writer you're meant to be.
If that’s what you’re craving, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
I'm a novelist and I've spent the last decade teaching and mentoring other writers. One of my favourite things is supporting others to tell their stories and share them with the world.
Writing can be an important way to understand and express ourselves, connect with others, or even escape the pressures of everyday life. More than that, nurturing our creativity is essential to our happiness and wellbeing. That's science fact!
So, why do we find it so hard?
Again and again, I’ve watched brilliant, talented writers struggle to keep writing, finish projects, put their work out into the world, pick themselves up after rejection, or even start writing in the first place.
I understand because I’ve been there.
Sometimes, I still am.
That’s why I’ve made it my mission to support writers who are committed to their craft and want to beat creative blocks, connect with their unique voice, and build a sustainable and successful writing practice that lasts a lifetime.
If that sounds like you, I'm so glad you're here!
