Background & experience

As a book coach, writer, and editor, I've worked on a variety of books, including • business coaching • personal development • inspirational writing • mainstream & genre fiction • literary fiction • academic theses.

I’ve ghostwritten seven novels and have also pseudonymously published a novel, novellas, and short stories. Under my own name, I've published fiction in New Writing: The International Journal for the Practice and Theory of Creative Writing, Open (South Africa’s first anthology of women’s erotica) and For Women. I've also contributed academic articles to Postmodern Culture and La Négation, non-fiction to Filament, and write medical articles on endometriosis for endowriter. I've spoken about my work at the World Horror Convention, the Oxford Literary Fringe Festival, the Writers in Oxford Book Fair, the Université de Tours, and the University of Witswatersrand.

I spent several years in marketing, first as an assistant and later as a manager, and taught English as a Foreign Language for five years, specialising in advanced and proficiency levels for Cambridge Exams. My writing courses & workshops draw on this grounding in teaching methodology and practice. I have a Masters in English Literature from the University of Oxford, UK (where I now live) and a First in English Literature from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, where I grew up.
