Have you ever wondered how stories work? Or why?
Do you have a story you've been dying to tell, but don't know where to start?
Maybe you've written something and feel stuck, but you don't want someone to stifle your creativity?
I can help. With all of these things and more.
I want to help you tell your story, the way you want to tell it.
We will avoid formulaic approaches - instead, focusing on what you want to say, how you want to say it, and what themes you want to explore.
I can help you with:
*Characterisation, Structure, and Theme
* Pitching your ideas effectively and passionately
* Development documents such as Pitch decks, TV Bibles, Treatments, Outlines etc
* Develop your voice as a writer
* Professional formatting and conventions
* The importance of genre

Ben’s a genuinely nice guy and excellent tutor who really goes the extra mile for his students. Unafraid to point out difficulties in my work with sensitivity and compassion and always takes time to go over any questions I’ve got with helpful and insightful input at every stage. Feel lucky to have his help, thoroughly recommend.
Ben is a great guy and really knows the English language. We met while studying at the prestigious NFTS and have worked on several short films together over our two years at the school, having hit it off right away when we first started. A gifted writer and lovely chap. Recommended!
