RomCom Novelist & Writing Mentor

If you love books, particularly romcom and contemporary women's fiction, book reviews and recommendations, reading and/or writing, the Writing Mentor newsletter is for you. You'll also be part of my mailing list so you'll never miss any book updates I have to share, including new releases, pre-orders and special offers. 

The Writing Mentor newsletter is where I ponder on all the latest and greatest books, the challenges of being a writer, how to maximise your chances of getting published, and of course, the joy reading.

I've been through it all, written six novels, landed book deals, secured agents, left agents and survived submission. Learn from my experience to avoid making the same mistakes and get some insights into my life as a writer, along with the latest book news, by signing up for my free Writing Mentor Newsletter. You'll get a flavour below of some of the topics I've previously covered in the newsletter.
