Nathanael
Writer and novelist keen on helping you with your creative writing and literary endeavours.I have self-published three books, and I am currently working on another novel. I can tutor within the areas of literature, poetry and creative writing, and I'm keen to guide and assist anyone of any age or level. I use the word "assist" because I aim to establish a reciprocal dynamic in which we can bounce and play off one another. I know from experience the elevation of finding those hidden keys lodged somewhere in the mind, keys that open doors to knew areas of insight and growth in the often daunting act of writing. I'll cater the lesson to you and strive to push you to find them, to harness your sensibility and manifest it onto the page, and to bring light to your words.

Do you write? Do you feel like writing? Ideas running through your headYes! Do you write? Do you feel like writing?
But where to start and/or how to continue?
You have scattered writings, unrelated to each other - or worse, bored at the bottom of a drawer or in "Documents" on your computer... Ideas that run, run through your head but never cross the finish line.
So give their lives, and don't worry, I'm here!
Writer's block is a nice word/illness invented to reassure the "writer" stuck in the beginning of his text!
I took the plunge, I dared!, I wrote, reworked my texts and publishers appreciated them! Already 3 books published - and one in progress: Entre deux bleus, Papa Tango Charlie, Mals à mon slam)
You will see what a pleasure it is to have YOUR book in your hands!
And it will go faster than you think. As you know, two are always stronger!
The scheduled sessions are one hour long but we are allowed to go a little over - I didn't swallow a clock! - and what's more, you can't help but notice that we get a lot done in an hour! The story is moving forward, moving forward... thanks also to the personal work between two sessions - and the book is being written, from 30 pages, we've gone to 60 and it's not over yet...
