Peter has been one of those people who's made a genuinely huge difference to my writing and creative work over the years.

What I love about working with him is that you can turn up with a jumble of thoughts, a rough draft that's going nowhere, or just a vague idea that's floating around your head, and somehow he'll help you make sense of it. He's brilliant at listening, asking good questions, and helping you find the thing you're actually trying to say.

He's not the kind of tutor who tells you what to think or how to write. Instead, he helps you discover it for yourself, which is a much rarer skill. I've bounced countless ideas off him, and he's helped me develop them in ways I probably wouldn't have got to on my own.

He's also incredibly encouraging. Writing can be a vulnerable thing to share, and Peter has a way of giving honest feedback while making you feel more confident, not less. He really gets creativity and understands that the messy, uncertain stage is often where the good stuff starts.

Honestly, a lot of the work I'm proudest of has benefited from Peter's input in one way or another. If you're looking for someone to help with writing, thinking, creating, or just getting unstuck, I couldn't recommend him more highly.

So enjoyable to work with!

I met Pete two years ago and he is a force of nature! Not only is his storytelling world class but he also guides people in their own writing with patience, grace and creativity. It’s like working with a word wizard !!

I met Peter through a local facebook group - I wanted to write a book that has been floating around in my head for years - at first I was terrified to show him anything I had written - he has improved my confidence and helped me to begin to structure chapters and to see the book as a whole and make it more interesting to readers. Moreover he has encouraged me to feel that I could actually finish a book - that it is within my grasp. He has been kind, patient, understanding and utterly professional. Always prompt. Reads and critiques my work fully and fairly. I really would not have been able to amass the writing I have achieved without his encouragement and help. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone embarking on a writing journey, or wishing to further their journey.

Before working with Peter, I often felt stuck when writing and second guessed my ideas. I wanted to be more creative but struggled with confidence and turning thoughts into something clear and engaging. Peter created a supportive space that made writing feel enjoyable rather than intimidating. His feedback was thoughtful and helped me find my own voice.

After working together, I felt much more confident, wrote more freely, and had a clearer sense of how to develop my ideas and tell stronger stories. I’d highly recommend Peter to anyone looking to grow their creative writing skill and feel more confident.
