“Working with Melanie is of the most creatively life-changing things I’ve ever done. It has changed the way I walk through the world - nevermind how I express my perspective.”
— Michael, London
You want to do this. So what’s stopping you?
So many people harbour an ambition to write. But most people don’t even type the first word. Let’s unpack why:
Lack of technical/structural knowledge.
Not knowing where to start.
Too many ideas - or none at all.
Time constraints.
Insecurity about education or experience.
Fear of failure.
Distractions and lack of accountability.
These are hurdles. Not deal-breakers. Working with me has opened up possibility and joy for hundreds of people who thought creativity wasn’t an option for them.
“Melanie has opened my eyes to the human need for creativity and beauty.”
— Kate, London
Not sure if you’re any good?
You’re here because you have something to say. My advice? Start. Take a risk. Get it wrong.
It’s my job to teach you the craft.
I don’t care if you haven’t written before. Or if your spelling is hit and miss. Your unique perspective is what matters. Who you are and how you position your story is what counts.
Are you a curious person? Great writing starts with curiosity. Taking an interest in others, reading, connecting, and questioning.
Have you got life experience? The ups and downs of life are quite literally the basis of narrative.
Ready to stop ‘just thinking’ about it? This is all we need to get going.
Don’t be the person who just thought about it.
“I’ve never completed anything.”
“I’ve always wanted to write a novel.'“
“I’ll do it one day.”
If you’re the kind of person who “has never completed anything” - I wonder if you’re happy about that?
If you’ve been waiting for “the right time” - I wonder if that perfect moment ever materialised?
If you’ve been waiting to feel “inspired” - I wonder if you actually just feel like a fraud when you don’t summon up raw creative genius on demand?
Start. Today. Right now.
It’s a win-win situation. You will grow. You will be challenged. And if you work with me: You will without doubt improve. You will gain clarity. You will gain perspective. You will learn things you didn’t know about yourself. You will develop new skills, new techniques, new approaches.
