Writer and Coach
You know how vital it can be to find the right words for the right occasion – and how the wrong word in the wrong place at the wrong moment can wreck your best-laid plans.
A good writer is like a good plumber, able to assess a task or diagnose a problem, then use the right tools, with precision and accuracy, to make everything work smoothly. In certain circumstances, I may be able to show you how to deal with such situations in future.
Since 2018, I have been working with clients such as the Behavioural Insights Team, GSK, HM Inspectorate of Prisons, MetroBank, Motability and Pacific Life Re. So how can I help you?
Writing and editing
If you’ve got a speech to give, a report to compile, or a book to write, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been doing this kind of work for more than 20 years.
Speech
Tell me about the venue, the audience and the message you want to get across. I won’t write a speech for you. I will write it WITH you. It must be a collaboration, because you have to give it, feel it, and put it across in your way. My job is to make your life easier. I have coached a number of clients on both writing and delivering speeches, so I’m happy to do that if you like.
Book
I have ghost-written a couple of books and done major editing work on others. One of my recent clients, hedge-fund manager Lars Kroijer, thanked “my brilliant editor.. for wielding the knife gently” on his book, Money Mavericks, published by FT Prentice Hall.
Coaching and training
The group workshops I developed at Clarity have stood the test of time. Show me what your staff or colleagues have been writing, and if it’s not having the desired effect on your target readers, I will use your material to develop a programme in which we will work out how to get better results.
If you want a personal coach to help you with any writing task in any context, let me know. I’m happy to work with individual clients in many different walks of life.
