Applying is simple. Download and complete this short questionnaire, and email it along with a short sample of your writing (one short story or a 1500 word excerpt from a larger work) to [email protected]. Send your very best writing. No preface or explanation for the work is required. Once I am acquainted with your writing, we will arrange a consultation, to take place over video call at your convenience. This consultation is one hour long and free of charge. These consultations are free for a few reasons. One, it is not a full lesson. We will of course discuss writing, and you may pick up a thing or two, but these sessions are mostly so I can ask questions about you and your hopes for your writing, and so that you can ask me questions about my teaching methods and general expectations. This is to ascertain if I will be a suitable tutor for your writing needs, and so we can start to think about what future tuition might consist of. If you decide to move forward with tuition, I would recommend booking one or two standalone sessions, before committing to a larger financial outlay. From there, we can arrange block-booked sessions, which come at a discounted price. The application and consultation period is non-negotiable. I will not accept bookings or payments for tuition before the application and consultation has been completed. I will never ask for financial or personal details until the consultation stage is complete and you’re happy to move forward.
If you have any questions prior to sending in your witing and questionnaire, please feel free to contact me at the same address.
