Why work with me?
I’m Stuart Wakefield, an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach with an MA with Distinction in Professional Writing. I work with fiction writers who want thoughtful, practical, compassionate feedback and not just vague encouragement, not formulaic rules, and definitely not someone shouting “raise the stakes” before disappearing into the shrubbery.
"Not only is Stuart a delightful human being, he's an exceptional book coach. If you want to make your book as good as it can be, you won't find anyone better to help you."
