Dark Fiction & Screenwriting Tutoring — Structure, Voice & Storytelling. Online lessons worldwide. First lesson free.

I've been working with Simon for around six months now and he's been brilliant. What really sets him apart is his ability to capture my voice — my blog posts sound exactly like me, which is harder to find than you'd think. He just gets the tone of my business straight away and runs with it. Really easy to work with and always delivers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I’ve known Simon as a close friend for quite some time, and even though creative writing isn’t something I personally pursue, I’ve still been able to see just how dedicated and thoughtful he is when it comes to his teaching.

What stands out most is how naturally he explains things. He has a way of breaking ideas down so they feel clear and approachable, and he’s incredibly patient. From what I’ve seen, he focuses on building confidence as much as skill, which makes a big difference for anyone learning something new.

One experience that sticks with me is when he shared and talked me through a piece of writing he’d been working on. Even without my own background in creative writing, I could see how much care he puts into both the craft and the way he discusses it — always encouraging, never dismissive, and genuinely interested in helping others improve.

I’d happily recommend Simon to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable tutor. He’s approachable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about helping people develop their abilities.

Simon recently entered a writing competition, first 5000 words only. He asked me to have a read through to see how it flowed and gather my thoughts. Somehow I'd never known the man could properly write! A talent I never knew he possessed. Actual publishable level literature. I'm looking forward to getting a full version of Simon's 'Burger Wars' Fictional adventure. It was clever, thought provoking and futuristic, all up my alley!
