Does Your Heart Call You to Write?

No matter how you feel, what you think or where you’re at, you can write something wonderful, if you’re willing to work on the Heart AND Craft. If you feel called to write, trust that. 

Writing can feel overwhelming, scary even, but I can give you simple steps to help you find your true flow. 


Books, blogs, poetry, songs, shows or coded love letters to the cosmos…any piece of writing, like any act of speaking, can feed the courage and love in other chests. Doesn’t matter what your topic is, or even who you are. No matter if you’re starting out, in transition or decades in. 

The world needs us living our gifts any messy way we can in our messy reality. Whether your gifts are silly stories or passionate teachings, the world wants them.

Writing takes courage. We never know where our words may take us and others. People still message me saying something I shared years ago gave hope to their own throat. Everything you do has a life beyond you. Whatever’s in your heart to write, now is always the right time!

"He's the best. End of." Jamie Catto, author of Insanely Gifted.

"Working with Dave was a revelation. He's extremely gifted and gets you right to the heart of things, honing in on the sheer potential of every moment." Suzanna Geraghty, Actress, United Solo Theater Festival Award Winner, Audience Favorite Award, New York

I can support you to move from from blocked and self-critical, to inspired and in flow. 

Guide transformation of shadows and habits at the same time. 

Offer tools and maps to take raw material and a raw voice, and craft and shape both. 

Show you your unique blind spots and bad habits (which we all have). 

Shine a light on the gifts you can’t see for yourself.

Be your ally, if you're willing to do the work, in feeling your best and doing your best writing. 

There’s no magic path free from struggle though. It takes guts, heart, and time at the page.

If any of this calls you, I’d like to hear from you. I coach writers ready for their next steps. I get you writing. Read your work in depth and give you feedback completely specific to your voice, your habits, your potential. It all happens via email, at your pace, for your needs, for your goals. 
​
I work with people for three months at a time. We speak for thirty minutes every second week, and each week I read 1500 words or so and provided you with very detailed notes covering every aspect and level of your work. Each call is tailored to you, blending; deep insights into the essence of your gifts and your craft, inspiration, accountability, exercises, planning, feedback…whatever gets you there.

The investment for three months is 550 euros. I am currently fully booked, but may have space in about a month. Get in touch now if you want to book in,...
Or get in touch to chat about it...what you want, what's possible, any and all questions and ideas welcome...

About Me

I’ve been writing since I was seven. I’ve been coaching and teaching writing since I was 21. I’ve taught writing in hundreds of live workshops.


​“You're the reason I continuously write poetry, a form of artistic expression which has helped me understand myself to no boundaries. You're an inspiration, in every sense of the word.” 
​
Caelom Roelofs Hughes
I’ve helped a Grammy nominated artist with a film script, award winning actors and comedians with their shows, personal growth authors with their books, budding poets and fiction writers with their flows. I’m a published poet, an award winning slam poet, a staged playwright, an escapee PhD Fellow, a life-long fiction addict. I’ve written over three hundred personal poems for others, many of them on the spot at live events. My posts on Facebook have been shared maybe a thousand times, with countless comments and messages telling me my work changes lives, nurses fragile dreams, helps healing, voices things others didn’t know how to say for themselves. People put my on their bedroom walls, read it to dates, speak my poems in rituals, and even visualise me when they’re blocked!

I love all this, but it’s not a big deal. It’s natural. You can do it too, if you’re willing to work on the Heart AND Craft. 


​I’ve gone from a traumatised child to a freestyle poet-speaker who always feel joyous onstage. The scared child is still there. I’m still a weird mess in some ways. But I access inspiration unconditionally. You can too. I’ve helped a LOT of folks do so. We can be a weird mess and our greatest selves at the same time. In fact, it’s the only way!
​

If you’d like someone to help you honour your flow, I’d love to work with you. Get in touch and let’s chat about it.
