Hello and welcome.
I'm Nina, a writer (you probably guessed that part!) and writing mentor. I work with people and businesses who want to tell interesting stories, as themselves.
My writing is diverse, intuitive, and deeply human. Generally, it takes the form of:
- Wording (I refuse to call it “content”) for websites, blogs, and publications.
- Professional articles.
- Speeches for big events, like weddings and conferences.
- Show and theatre reviews.
- Books (fiction and non).
- Epic memoirs and whole-life stories.
I also mentor other writers, so they can start - and finish - the story, blog, or book they've been dreaming of.
If you’d like to talk about working with me, here’s how.
Otherwise, you can learn more about me and my writing right here.
Getting lost in words is one of my favourite things to do.
Good writing is a lot like magic. It has the power to connect, reveal, and resonate deeply across centuries, in ways that other creative forms can’t touch.
When I was a kid, my dream was to be like my favourite authors, Enid Blyton and Oscar Wilde. I wanted to write stories that people would re-read and remember, because of how those stories made them feel.
However, I left college and accidentally started a career in HR instead. I wrote prolifically on the sidelines, just because I loved it. People - some of them strangers - kindly said I had a gift. My work was even featured in a few books and publications.
But an actual writing career? I didn’t think it was possible.
Then I hit my late thirties. I realised how little time we’ve all got to do the things we love, so I handed in my notice at work and became an Actual Writer.
Since 2016, I’ve been writing with interesting people and businesses, creatively telling their stories without ‘help’ from AI programs and chatbots.
I also mentor other writers, so they can start - and finish - the writing project of their dreams.
Oh, and I’ve written a few books myself, too.
(It’s all rather wonderful, really).
As an introvert and HSP (Highly Sensitive Person – yes, it’s an actual thing), I find social media too shouty and distracting to spend any valuable time in. So I don’t.
My blog, therefore, is the best place for you to get to know me… if, of course, you feel like you want to.
I also write a semi-regular newsletter, which you can sign up for at the bottom of this page.
Along with ramblings about (my) life, I use these outlets to talk about the writing I’m doing in other parts of the internet, for clients, or about the world at large.
I also use them to share thoughts and ideas I might otherwise have posted on social media. You have been warned!
Please contact me if there’s something I can do for you, writing or mentoring-wise. Our first chat will be free of charge and future obligation, and I’d love to hear what you have in mind.
