I’m opening up a few spots each month for creative mentoring and strategic support – basically formalising what I’ve already been doing behind the scenes for a while now!

I’m genuinely passionate about nurturing creatives and seeing you succeed. I want you to do your bookish thing sooner than I did, and to have the kind of support it took me 39 years to find.

The creative conversations I’ve had over the last couple of years have given me so much life, and I’ll be damned if I let any of you lose your sparkle because of the way we’re expected to move through this world or what work is “supposed” to look like. To me, work – good work – is taking a chance on something meaningful you love, and bringing more of it into your life and the lives of others.

Blending creativity, experience, and a commercial mindset forged through decades of proving content is more than “just fluff,” I’ve developed an unstoppable, contagious passion for bringing books and bookish ideas I believe in, to life.

So how do you express that thing you know is inside you (iykyk)? Where do you even start? How do you validate your creative idea – or take that delicious something you’ve already begun to the next level?

Working with me is more than passionate pep talks (though you’ll definitely get plenty of those). It’s about strategising and scheming, thinking about the market, understanding where your book or offering fits, and how it can be optimised. I think beyond a single transaction towards building something meaningful you can scale, and audiences and networks that last. I’ve spent 15 years doing this as my day job, and now I want to use my skills for good — for an industry I genuinely love.

Swipe to see exactly how you can work with me, and the kinds of things I can help you with. Head to the link in my bio to book time with me, or slide on in with your Qs. I’d love to co-create with you. x
