I am a children's fantasy writer, recently signed with an agent in America. We have rewritten my novel together and it is currently on submission to big five publishers. I would like to share what I have learned in my twenty five years writing, and share the knowledge that finally helped me get an agent in six months.
I currently work as an online higher English tutor (1 year's experience.)
My agent has described parts of my novel as some of the best writing she has seen in children's literature.
I teach online via Zoom and I specialize in fantasy writing. I teach Narrative Theory including psychoanalytical theories, study of fairy tales, templating, directed reading, and study of the symbolic elements of the fairytale focusing on landscape, objects and archetypes. I can advise on editing techniques, word counts and tailoring your manuscript to the current market. I can also offer tips for writing query letters and synopses.
