The first 3 chapters/10K words of your book [optional addition]
“Philippa has been a wonderful writing coach and mentor. Like a kind of creative midwife, she has helped to nurture and coax my novel into life, encouraging me onwards when I’ve hit a block and offering practical guidance and feedback to help me shape and sharpen my narrative. She is endlessly patient and supportive yet manages to deliver constructive and incisive challenge just at the moment you most need it. For anyone looking to develop their writing or get a novel off the ground I really can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Book Editing and Representation
Structural editing, subject to agreement. Philippa offers big picture editing notes, with some track changes in the margins of your script. This will include feedback on structure, story arc and character development, so you can transform your draft through a powerful rewrite. She does not offer a detailed line-editing or copy-editing service, but will highlight a few examples in the text which need tweaking.
(Philippa requires both a printed hard copy sent by post and an electronic copy by email).
NLP Hypnotism
Philippa is a certified NLP Hypnotist. As with Coaching, writers have enjoyed this as a way of getting in flow and moving with ease from their present state to their desired outcome.
Please note that due to huge demand, Philippa can get booked up for one-to-one services and therefore invites you also to consider coming on one of her writing courses where she will give you direct feedback in the group
