Welcome
Hello, I’m Mark. I work between Southampton and the New Forest, writing and editing creative projects and helping people make positive changes in their lives. If you scroll down, you’ll find details about the mentorship and creative services I provide. If you have any questions, head to the Contact page to send me a message.
I’m a calm and encouraging person with a natural aptitude for guiding people through personal and creative projects. Whether you’re hoping to write poetry, your memoirs, or research local history, I’ll help you work from the initial idea to the finished product. The scope of my mentoring sessions is very broad. I like variety! Sometimes they’re a space to talk, to get connected to new people, or to plan positive life changes. I have coached people through learning how to cook, taking up a new language, and finding local interest groups they’ve wanted to join. Whatever your idea, I’ll help bring it to life.
Mentorship
Speech and Memoir Writing
We all know that putting our words out into the world can be daunting. With my speech and memoir writing services, I work closely with you to create the story you want to share. This could be for a wedding speech or writing up family stories to share with future generations.
With 15 years of experience, I offer quality proofreading on creative and corporate documents, including websites and social media posts. I primarily work with local businesses near Southampton, but with enough notice I can accommodate most projects, large or small.
Proofreading
Copywriting
I produce clear, effective copy for creative projects and businesses, including promotional materials and website content. This service can include editing existing material or renewing out of date documents.
Putting my academic qualifications to use, I run guided walks and writing workshops in Hampshire and Wiltshire. Based at different venues, these group sessions will help you learn about the nature on our doorsteps, improve your writing and introduce you to passionate, like-minded people.
