About Samantha
I am a traditionally published fiction author, freelance copywriter, and Psychology graduate with a lifelong passion for storytelling and the written word. Writing has been a significant part of my life for many years, both professionally and creatively. Alongside publishing fiction, I have worked as a professional copywriter, producing articles, website content, and marketing materials for a wide range of clients and industries.
I understand that writing can feel exciting and intimidating in equal measure. Many people have ideas for stories but struggle with confidence, structure, or knowing how to turn those ideas into something readers will connect with. Having experienced the challenges of writing, editing, and publication myself, I enjoy helping others develop their skills and discover their own voice as writers.
My goal as a tutor is not only to teach the technical aspects of creative writing but also to encourage and motivate students throughout their journey. Whether you are writing for personal enjoyment, hoping to improve your skills, or working towards completing a short story or novel, I will provide practical guidance, constructive feedback, and a supportive learning environment.
I believe creative writing should be enjoyable, rewarding, and accessible to everyone. Seeing students gain confidence, overcome obstacles, and make progress with their work is one of the most satisfying aspects of teaching. Every lesson is tailored to the individual, ensuring that students receive support that matches their experience, goals, and interests.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an aspiring author, I would be delighted to help you develop your writing and bring your ideas to life.

My approach to teaching creative writing is supportive, practical, and tailored to each student's individual goals. I believe that everyone has stories worth telling, but many aspiring writers struggle with confidence, structure, or simply knowing where to begin. My role is to provide guidance, encouragement, and constructive feedback to help students develop their skills and enjoy the writing process.
Lessons are typically one hour long and can be adapted depending on the student's needs. Sessions may focus on generating ideas, developing characters, plotting a story, writing dialogue, creating believable settings, improving style, or overcoming writer's block. For students already working on a project, I can provide feedback on existing work and help identify areas for development.
As a traditionally published fiction author, I have first-hand experience of the writing, editing, and publication process. I understand the challenges writers face, from developing an initial idea through to completing a manuscript. My aim is to share practical techniques that students can continue to use long after the lesson has ended.
Lessons are suitable for teenagers and adults of all abilities, from complete beginners who want to explore creative writing for the first time, to more experienced writers looking to improve their craft or work towards completing a short story or novel. Whether your goal is personal enjoyment, increased confidence, or pursuing publication, lessons will be tailored to your experience level and aspirations.
