How To Be A Writer
Are you wondering how to be a writer? Does the idea of being a professional writer appeal to you... but you're unsure how to get started or where to find work? I can help.
​
I've been a professional writer for a long time and it's a truly wonderful way to earn a living. Here are just a few of the good points:
​
-
It's a job you can do from home or from anywhere.
-
There's tremendous variety.
-
It can sometimes be extremely well paid.
-
It's a career you can take in several different directions.
-
You get to help people in countless different ways and solve problems for them.
-
People tend to like writers and the things we can do! You'll make a lot of friends along the way.
​
So, where do you start? How do you become a writer, find work, earn a reasonably good living and have some fun once in a while?
I offer training and coaching with regard to all aspects of building a career as a professional writer. You get the benefit of my forty years of professional experience, during which time I've worked as a feelance writer, technical writer, ghost writer and writing consultant. I've written:
​
-
Comedy sketches broadcast on TV.
-
Promotional material for everything from cheese to bicycles.
-
More technical docs than I care to remember.
-
Training material for the FBI, Coca-Cola, Google and dozens of other companies both large and small.
-
Several books for myself or others (in my capacity as a ghost writer).
-
Over 200 books and articles for magicians.
​
Not many people can offer you the same range and variety of experience.
​
Training sessions are conducted by Skype or Zoom, whichever you prefer. It doesn't matter where you are in the world — we can always find a mutually acceptable time. Each session lasts about an hour but I'm not strict and if we over-run a little, that's okay.
​
Sessions costs £90 (ninety British pounds) and the minimum booking is two sessions. All training is covered and protected by a signed contract.

Interested? I'd love to hear from you.
