Hey, I’m Luke!
I’m a teacher, writer and wannabe adventurer from Nottingham in England.
One thing I love is helping people (like you, maybe?) realize and relish in their creativity. We are all creative, but sometimes it just needs a little bit of encouragement.
Even though I always knew I wanted to be a writer, it took me until my thirties to put pen to paper. I want to help you, whoever you are, explore and develop that creativity.
Having taught English in a secondary (high) school for the last few years, I know what makes an inspiring and engaging lesson. Recently, I have been fortunate to be able to reduce my hours at the school to complete a masters’ degree, write my novels and spend time with my friends and family.
I write thrillers about a missing persons’ detective. More information on my novels here.
I hope to see you in one of my courses soon.
If you’d love to write AND publish a novel, then I’d love to help you
It took me over three years to write my first novel. I know if I'd been able to find someone to help me through that, I’d have saved thousands of hours and hundreds of pounds.
That’s why I want to coach you through the process of writing AND publishing your thriller novel.
Why am I the person to help you?
It wasn’t THAT long ago I wrote my first novel
I’ve published two novels, got Amazon bestseller tags, and started to make money from my writing
After 7 years of teaching, I know how to break a topic down and give constructive feedback
Working with me would include:
Regular 1 on 1 coaching calls
Approaches to dealing with writers’ block, negative thought spirals and impostor syndrome
Tried and tested exercises to develop your writing skills and hone your creative habits
Want to really start making some progress? Get in touch, we’ll book a call and get you on the road to finishing that novel!
