Private Tutoring

One-to-one tutoring services for writers wanting to begin their writing journey and make sure they’re starting on the right path, and for those more advanced writers wanting to hone their craft.

Each session is one hour long (face-to-face or online) and includes:

  • Project discussion
  • Reviewing your work (max. 2,500 words per-session)
  • Discuss next steps

Book a weekly session to receive consistent help with your work, or schedule a one-off appointment for guidance.

Emma-Louise Smith

Marianne is a patient and encouraging tutor with a strong grasp of form and technique used in creative writing. She has been able to breakdown information and feedback into easy explanations to help me understand how to actually write a story. She helped me find my own style, and also showed me how I can use storytelling to better engage a reader. I went from saying “I’m not a writer” to being several chapters in and confident enough to submit to a competition within a couple months of Marianne’s tutelage. They say inside every person is a story that only they can tell – I would recommend Marianne in a heartbeat to anyone who wants help learning how to write their stories.

Marianne’s patient, insightful, and able to break down complex topics into more easy to understand chunks giving me time to process them and learn at my own pace.
