I am the founder of, commissioning editor and publisher at the award-winning Retreat West Books (Winner: Most Innovative Publisher 2020 Saboteur Awards), which publishes novels, memoirs and short fiction. I have been designing and teaching online creative writing courses, and live workshops, for many years and have worked as an editor on hundreds of manuscripts. I'm passionate about helping writers get to the heart of their characters to create memorable narrators that really come alive for the reader.
