Mohammed Barber, longlisted for the Bruntwood Prize
Whether you’re dreaming of writing a novel, a TV pilot, a film or a stage play, you don’t have to do it alone. I work with writers who want to move from ideas to finished draft - people with something to say, even if they’re not sure where to start.
You don’t need to be an expert to write something meaningful. You just need to be ready to take your story seriously. As a story coach and dramaturg, I help writers find clarity, confidence and flow in their creative process.
We work one-to-one over Zoom, focusing on your story, process and creative confidence.
