TESTIMONIALS

"I met Mark for 6 weekly tutorials. He was an able, imaginative and interesting mentor, quick to grasp what I was trying to do and ever-willing to push me along the right path. He raised many issues that hadn't occurred to me and was always encouraging and constructive."

SHARIF GEMIE, PROFESSOR OF HISTORY

AND FICTION WRITER

"Mark proved to be the most wonderful co-pilot as I wrote 60,000 words for 12 chapters of a book. Mark took time to completely understand my aims and style and material – and then offered thought-through and exceptionally useful advice. Mark was never intrusive but instead gave me real confidence. He helped make the writing of my first book a positive and pleasurable experience."
