She’s warm, supportive and great at explaining big ideas in a really accessible way for a range of participants. Highly recommended!” – Becci Sharrock, Theatre Maker and Project Producer at Young Writers’ City, New Writing North
Thank you so much for all of your help and encouragement – I still have quite a way to go, but am feeling more confident in my writing and have a clearer idea of how to move forward – MG, Faber student
Thank you so much for […] your encouragement over the past few weeks. You made me feel much more confident in my ‘writing voice’ and I am very grateful for the whole new vein of literature you introduced me to. I am reading my way through the recommended books list! – RM, Faber student
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve now written about three-quarters of my memoir, and this is very much thanks to you. I was on the verge of giving up just before we had those two Zoom sessions, but you were so encouraging and helpful that I carried on, and I’m glad I did. The memoir is taking shape and I’m enjoying writing it – AC, Faber mentee
