COVID Update: Staff and students at many universities will still need support during this challenging period. I continue to offer writing support programmes online, and have adapted my face-to-face workshops for virtual spaces to facilitate the delivery of the same expertise, individual mentoring and interactive shared learning opportunities, all accessible from home. Please get in touch if you’d like to explore options.
Welcome!
I’m a multi-award winning author, editor, researcher and educator. I work with universities, professional associations and other organisations around the world to help people improve their writing, increase their output and, where possible, enjoy the process!
My work in writing and higher education spans two decades. I design and deliver world-class writing workshops and development programmes for students, early career researchers, supervisors and creative writers. One of these initiatives is the internationally successful Thesis Boot Camp, which I created in 2012. Since, I’ve helped thousands of PhD students achieve their goals at Thesis Boot Camps across the globe – both in person and online.
If you would like to work with me, please get in touch.
