Need guidance on a writing project, or advice to develop further your creative practice? Whether you’re at the start of a new idea, grappling with a creative block, or simply looking for a fresh perspective, my one-to-one mentoring sessions are all about helping you grow into the writer you want to be. Think of it as a conversation built around your questions, goals, and creative challenges—a space to dive into your process, build confidence, and navigate the ups and downs of the writing journey.
This isn’t an editing service; instead, it’s an inspiring, no-judgment zone where we can focus on your bigger picture. Maybe that means brainstorming approaches to a tricky plotline, developing stronger creative habits, or even talking through how to get your work out there. It’s about giving you the tools, insights, and direction to keep moving forward, whatever “forward” looks like for you.
Right now, I can offer mentoring sessions to writers of fiction, creative non-fiction, building your brand as a writer, and developing your creative practice, and I’m especially interested in mentoring writers traditionally underrepresented in the publishing industry.

Best for the writer working on a novel or a memoir, or looking for continued support. With six sessions, we’ll have time to explore multiple aspects of your work and creative goals, building a trusted partnership to help keep you moving forward.
Why should you consider working with me
I’m a writer, creative writing mentor and workshop facilitator, and have an extensive background in marketing, content and communications, working for charities and high-profile brands.
My debut novel Four Minutes was originally published in Bulgaria (Janet 45, 2017) where the book received the most prestigious Bulgarian prize for emerging literature and was shortlisted for several other national awards. The International Booker Prize winner Georgi Gospodinov described it as “a novel about people on the margins of society, […] that grabs you by the throat, a poignant novel”. It has since been translated into English, German and Polish. My second novel Arrival, written in English, was published by The Indigo Press, UK (2022) and is due to be published in Bulgaria.
I’ve been invited to speak at literary events and festivals such as Aye Write and the Festival of European Debut Novelists. My short fiction, non-fiction and critique have appeared in literary journals and anthologies, such as Words Without Borders, Fence, Psyche, Asymptote, Lunate, Review31 and Granta.
