Hello, I'm Stuart.
I coach because writing should feel joyful, not lonely, and I’m here to help you shape your story with clarity, confidence, and care.
My Story
I’ve spent over 25 years immersed in storytelling, from the worlds of theatre and broadcast media to one-on-one coaching. And through it all, one thing has remained constant: my deep love of story.
​
My storytelling journey began with comic books, TV, and an obsession with diverse, character-driven fiction. That passion evolved into a career rooted in helping others shape meaningful stories. Along the way, I earned an MA in Professional Writing and became an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach.
​
My novel Behind the Seams reached the semifinals of the BookLife Fiction Prize, earning a perfect 10/10 in every category. And my first television show, No Strings Attached, is slated to air on Channel 4 in the UK.
​
As a book coach, I specialise in story development and revision, especially when it comes to building emotional depth and powerful character backstory. I combine professional expertise with a warm, collaborative approach so you can feel supported and proud of the story you’re telling.
As an Author Accelerator certified book coach, I am qualified to coach writers using Author Accelerator's strategy, methods, and materials, but I operate independently of Author Accelerator and am not affiliated with them.
​
Beyond my certification, I also train and assess new book coaches for Author Accelerator. I’ve had the privilege of guiding other professionals through the same tools and standards I use to support my clients... so you’re in good hands.
