Creative writing tutoring and mentoring in Pembrokeshire by Karen Phillips, Literature Wales Bursary recipient 2017, represented by DHH Literary Agency

Creative writing tutor /mentor

Writing, like any form of creativity is lonely; family and friends don’t understand what you are doing, progress can be slow and stressful and the often bizarre world of publishing is like navigating an alien landscape.

Writer’s groups can be embarrassing; at worst cliquey and at best intimidating.

The route to where you want your writing to go is invariably fog filled and you don’t have a map.

And yet, you feel like you have to write.

Through a combination of tutoring and mentoring I give writers in Pembrokeshire the opportunity to discuss their writing, receive impartial and encouraging feedback and educate themselves so their writing goals become clear and they develop a plan on how to achieve those goals.

In non-judgemental one to one sessions we will cover what you need most – this service is totally client led. It may be you have nothing but an idea and need a starting point to work from or it may be that you have a polished manuscript and now want to know how to craft a query letter to a publisher or agent.

Sessions are relaxed but focussed and a two hour session is recommended in the first instance.

And there will be cake, and tea, lots of tea : -)
