Writing support

Getting it written.

Writing is inevitably a solitary occupation, but it doesn't have to be lonely. Whatever stage you're at — from first idea to nearly-there — we know what it's like, and we know how to help.

There are so many points at which writing can prove a challenge, for the beginning writer or for the old hand. No idea how to begin? Can't get off the first page? Totally stuck? Can't get it finished? We've all been there, done that, burnt the T-shirt, then got a new T-shirt out of the cupboard and started all over again.

Our expert writing mentors and coaches will provide you with just the right mixture of support and stimulation, nudges, nips, and helpful advice to make sure that your book gets written, worked on, and finished — in the way that you want.

When you're writing a book, a short story, an article, there are all sorts of points at which you may get stuck. How to start? How to finish? Where do you find an illustrator? Where should you publish? Wherever you find yourself stuck, we are here to unstick you. Simply contact us and, whether your problem is big or small, we'll help you find the right solution.

Ghostwriting

Sometimes the best way to get your book written is to bring in a skilled writer who can capture your voice, your ideas and your story, and make them sing on the page. Our ghostwriters — or "friendly ghosts" as we like to call them — are experienced, discreet and entirely collaborative.

Whether you have a detailed plan or just a strong sense of what you want to say, we'll find the right match for your project and your personality.
