I've been helping good writers become great writers for over 16 years. I've done this by zeroing in on the essential writing techniques writers need to improve their writing. Through explanation and example I've taught the most important elements of great writing. I make sure that writers immediately apply what they've learned by working on specially tailored writing exercises. The exercises break challenging writing tasks down into basic steps that make them much easier to tackle. When writers look at what they've written, they are amazed.

How did I get started helping good writers become great?

It all started with one student—myself.

I always loved writing and my English teachers always told me I was a good writer. But that wasn't enough to get my work published in the markets I wanted to be published in. I started reading all the writing technique books I could find.

I read, I learned, and most of all I practiced and soon I was getting published. Magazine editors were writing me and asking me to write articles for them. By this point I was already teaching writing courses, leading writing workshops and teaching at conferences. I was coaching and editing writers. This was all done by word of mouth. I never advertised. One writer would tell another how much I had helped her and then ask to work with me…

Writers were always telling me how much my guidance and exercises helped them become better writers and get published. They urged me to compile my techniques into a book so that other writers would benefit as they had.

Yes, there are many excellent writing technique books out there. And I've read most of them https://thesiseditor.co.uk/. I have combed through thousands of pages of excellent writing advice, so now I can give you the best of the best. You won't find this combination along with my tested and proven writing techniques anywhere else.
