Coaching for Writers, Screenwriters and Animation Writers

Hi, I’m Katy! 👋 I take writers from frustrated and stuck to writing every day and selling themselves with confidence.

I’m a Writing Coach

I help ambitious writers sit down and write, sharpen their confidence and start selling themselves and their work with pride

Is this you…?

• You daydream about writing but don’t do anything about it
• You’re great at writing on commission but never get around to your own original work 
• You’re scared to take the first step
• You’ve written a script or manuscript, but don’t dare send it out
• You prioritize other people’s goals, but never your own
• You have time to write, but still find excuses not to sit down and do it
• You start writing and then get stuck… and stop
• You’re struggling with a creative or mental block

If this sounds familiar, let’s work together

“Katy’s quite honestly brilliant at this!! I’d never have written the 110,000 words of my first novel without her… Of course there were bumps on the road but Katy always found inventive solutions or options for me to keep going.”

Frances, screenwriter & novelist

How I help

I’m passionate about the pyschology of being a writer because having the right mindset is essential for reaching your goals.

I coach writers to stay on track, feel more confident, and finish what they start. Here’s how…

1. Tame Your Inner Critic

If self-doubt is holding you back – that sneaky voice whispering that you’re not good enough, that you’ll never finish, that you’re wasting your time – let’s work together to shut it up! I’ll help you build confidence and develop a resilient mindset so you can finally enjoy your creativity and trust yourself as a writer.

2. Build a Sustainable Writing Habit

If you’re struggling to write regularly or feel like writing has become stressful and erratic, I’ll help you create a rhythm that works for your life. Together, we’ll build simple, sustainable habits so that writing feels manageable and something you can return to again and again, even on tough days.

3. Stay Accountable from Start to Finish

If you keep procrastinating or getting distracted, I’ll be your writing boss—cheering you on, checking in, and helping you stay on track from the first word to ‘The End’.

4. Shape and Strengthen Your Story

If you feel lost in your plot, stuck on structure, or unsure how to deepen your characters, I’ll be your creative sounding board. Let’s get into the nitty gritty, untangle what’s not working and develop the story you’re excited to tell, with clarity and confidence.

5. Share Your Work With the World

If fear is stopping you from submitting your writing, I’ll support you in getting it out there with courage and accountability. You’ll stop second-guessing yourself and start making progress – week by week, submission by submission, with a simple and clear strategy.

6. Tailored Support

No two writers are the same. Whether you’re just starting out or deep in revisions, I’ll meet you where you are and shape the coaching to suit your project, pace and personality.

Best of all, it will be fun!

Writing is a joyful pursuit. Let’s tap back into that joy.

“With Katy’s support I stopped being someone with the pipe dream of “one day writing a screenplay” and became someone who “has actually finished a screenplay”. A minor miracle. Katy’s approach is unfailingly supportive and pragmatic. I always looked forward to our conversations because I knew she would cheer me up and help me overcome my blocks and barriers.”

Olly Rowe, screenwriter

Don’t struggle alone, let me hold you accountable to your writing dream with one of these writing coaching programmes…

“I was looking for a mentor to escalate my writing productivity – Katy was so much more than that!  She helped me develop a strong writing habit that fitted in with my demanding lifestyle and she addressed – gently – where I’m my own worst enemy.

She supported my fear of sharing my writing and networking to meet producers.  She was patient, kind and innovative with her techniques, great at making it simple and easy.

If you are looking for someone to coach you to a new level of writing, I can’t recommend Katy highly enough.”

Tamsin Larby, screenwriter
