The first purpose of this website is to share some of the many lessons that I learnt over a long career as writer and trainer of writers. The second is unashamedly to plug my books, including a memoir (see panel, right) and my book on writing scientific papers (also see right), now in its fourth edition. And when I have finished the one I am working on that will be publicised here too!
You will find tips on writing journal articles, memoirs, personal statements and eulogies. You will also find descriptions of the courses I developed and who is now delivering them. I have details of the talks I currently give. And I explain such useful concepts as the 'pub 'test' and 'putting on the posh overcoat'.
In short, you should find plenty on this website to entertain you, and to help you on your writing journeys.
