Every writer needs encouragement.

In these challenging times, writing can help us make sense of ourselves, one another and the world around us. Yet many writers struggle to believe that what they have to say matters.

My work is built on the belief that encouragement helps people discover what they're capable of, both on the page and beyond it.

That's why I offer retreats, weekly groups and one-to-one mentoring for writers at every stage of their creative life.

I think life is about encouraging people. I was encouraged by so many people in my life. All this naming and shaming, league tables, and failures — the language of management is lousy. But they do it deliberately to keep us down. And actually, if you realise that, with a bit of encouragement, everyone will do better.”

— Tony Benn

“Holly is a brilliant teacher, who excels at encouraging and supporting her students, without shying away from giving constructive feedback so your writing becomes the best it can be.
