Expert Guidance for Aspiring Writers,
Scholars & Professionals

With over 13 years of teaching experience at BA, MA and PHD level, I offer expert guidance in Creative, Academic & Professional Writing

I have 13 years teaching experience at BA, MA and PHD level at the University of Kent. I am the founding editor of Litmus Publishing, which explores poetry at the intersection of literature and science. I have a BA, MA and PhD in Creative Writing, a PGHE, and was an external examiner for Cambridge for three years. With over a decade of experience in literary editing and academic supervision and mentoring, I’ve helped hundreds of writers and scholars achieve their dream of completing a manuscript and getting published.

I am the author of seven poetry publications which you can find here. I post about the practice of writing on Substack here.

I feel so privileged to have studied poetry with Dr Dorothy Lehane during my Master's in Creative Writing at Kent University. Dorothy is an exceptionally engaging and supportive teacher. Her teaching style was open, insightful and reflective, which encouraged deep conversation, active learning and created a safe space for experimentation. At the same time, she grounded her classes in solid technique and introduction to key poetic forms and approaches, while introducing us to a wide range of inspirational contemporary poets. I found the experience of working with Dorothy to be transformational and count myself very lucky to have benefited from her excellent tuition.
