Who we like to work with

We love working with like-minded people such as writers, artists and arts organisations. We’ve helped writers of different backgrounds, from those writing books for family members to professionals with wide readerships.

The artists and galleries we’ve worked with range from independents through to larger international organisations.

The environment and nature are important to both of us, so we like to work with those who celebrate and protect nature.

Writing mentoring

Jennifer has assisted writers at all stages of their careers, from those just starting out, to published authors. “I gained experience of assisting new and intermediate writers whilst directing Storyslingers writing group, and since studying an MA in Writing for Young People I’ve assisted several professional authors.”

“Jennifer has worked on all my manuscripts for young people with me and her feedback and editorial advice has been hugely valuable.”
