Information About Craig - Bury teacher

Personal Description:

I am a Creative Writing specialist with a PhD in the discipline, offering expert guidance in fiction, short stories, character development, and sense-of-place. A writer of fiction myself, I also run my own independent press (Cooper Lee Press), and teach Creative Writing to learners from a wide range of backgrounds — from complete beginners to aspiring authors developing manuscripts.

Teaching Experience:

My experience in teaching has been on a private basis, assisting writers with book projects (both fiction and non-fiction) and in the development of their writing.

Teaching Approach:

My approach is supportive, practical, and tailored to each student. Whether you want to strengthen your narrative voice, gain confidence in your ideas, or refine a work-in-progress, I provide structured, insightful mentoring that helps writers grow with clarity and purpose. I draw on more than a decade of academic study (BA, MA, PhD in Creative Writing), extensive workshop experience, and my own writing career to offer guidance that is both rigorous and encouraging.
