Overcome your fears and unlock creative inspiration to finally get to the end of your writing project.

Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.

➤ Overcome your fears.
➤ Discover the secret to writing 100% fun and 0% blank pages.
➤ Awaken this writer's flame that has been dormant in you for a long time.
➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, put an end to the fear of writing! Isn't it difficult to be consumed by the desire to write your project and not succeed in doing it? Break forever the insurmountable wall that prevents you from writing today.

It is a matter of combining improvements in form with improvements in substance. For this, the sessions can for example take place according to your needs as follows:
a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.
c) A series of precise and pragmatic recommendations and their application through style exercises.

Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:

- Study your text
- Build text, song lyrics etc
- Calmly polish the style
- Research and develop your lexical fields
- Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others

All this by combining theory and practice: Writing work from exercises then as part of a personal project.

During the sessions, you are guided in your writing project. The trainer accompanies you and teaches you the preparation method, gives you writing tools and helps you work on your style and your imagination.

The objective is multiple, including a reflection on one's own literary path, an introduction to the basic tools of style work and exercises on description.

Learning objectives:
- Identify your writing path.
- Mobilize your imagination.
- Learn and master the practical writing tools.
- Broaden its reflection on creation and professional and personal writing.
- Create and develop one or more projects.

Trained in a European Grande Ecole & Ivy League University in the United States, specialized and has been working in Europe and North America for more than 16 years in this field, in reputable international institutions , also intervening in forums and conferences.

- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

Creative Writing is a subject for those with imagination, talent, and a passion for literature, film and television, poetry and so much more. Whichever pathway you wish to discover, this class will give you the necessary skills to develop and explore different styles of writing, giving you an example of industry-standard work.

This class can help you work towards English Language/Literature/Creative Writing qualifications at many different levels, hopefully inspiring you to pursue a university education or career in this field. However, if you simply wish to explore your talent in fiction writing, I can provide insight into the industry and university level education of this subject.

Creative writing is often portrayed as a solitary task. This cannot be further from the truth! Even professional authors have their work proofread, edited, and through this process redrafted. I offer these services to writers of every level. As a writer myself, I specialise in prose and plays, and am happy to look at work from a spectrum of literature. Specifically, I look to help support you with your work by proofreading, checking for grammar and spelling, but also suggesting literary techniques that may improve your work. Furthermore, I can provide a range of exercises for new writers to explore their tone and style, and am happy to help people to whom English is a second or third language gain confidence in their writing!

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION (IN BRIEF):
➤Unleash your writing skills and finally realize your writing project!
Novels, short stories, life stories, theses, songs or simple texts: these workshops help you overcome your blocks and transform your ideas into vivid and inspiring stories.

➤ Together, we will work to:
-Overcome your fear of the blank page and awaken your creativity
-Develop style, vocabulary, coherence and authenticity
-Creating characters, settings, and captivating storylines
-Explore your imagination, your emotions, and your flaws to turn them into a strength
-Alternating theory and practice with concrete exercises and personalized feedback

➤ Proofreading, correction, optimization of your texts possible.
➤Objective: to write with pleasure, progress faster and bring your project to completion.

➤Let yourself be guided: your dream of writing can become a reality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
➤Exploring and sharing the pleasure of words, building the stories that inhabit you, developing your expression, deepening your creativity, exploring contemporary writing, proposing a novel, short stories, a life story, an (auto)biography, a fiction, an essay, song lyrics, various texts or simply a report, a thesis, a report for professional or academic purposes... these are among the objectives of these workshops to deepen or initiate writing and realize one's aspirations by prioritizing the pleasure of writing based on elements of personalized pedagogy.

➤Overcome your fears and unlock creative inspiration to finally complete your project.

Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.
➤ Overcome your fears
➤ Discover the secret to producing high-quality writing that's 100% enjoyable and 0% writer's block.
➤ Awaken this writer's flame that has been dormant in you for a long time
➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, overcome your fear of writing. Isn't it frustrating to be consumed by the desire to write your project and yet unable to do so? Break down that insurmountable wall that's holding you back.

This involves combining improvements in form with refinements in content. For example, concrete techniques for starting your text and overcoming writer's block, feedback/suggestions on your texts, writing and style exercises based on a prompt, a series of precise/pragmatic recommendations and their implementation.

That is why, if your manuscript is stuck and you don't know how to start or continue it, if you have all the ideas but don't know what form they should take, if you want to save time in the creative process: let's build the architecture of your story together.

Learning objectives include:
• Discover writing, build confidence, let your own literary voice/path emerge, and unleash your imagination
• Studying and constructing a text, song lyrics...
• Calmly refine the style and create consistency between form and content
• Research and develop your vocabulary
• Acquire techniques and know-how to convey your message both clearly and simply
• Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others
• Explore your creativity and develop your expression
• To construct a complete story by creating characters, settings, lively scenes...
• Acquire and master practical writing tools, always with a focus on simplicity/simplification and efficiency (both in content and form)
• Discover contemporary writing and diversify your practice
• Acquire narrative techniques to engage in long stories

So, start, resume or finish a piece of writing you have dreamed of for a long time if you want to write but don't know where to start; if you have a story but don't know how to tell it; if you love to write but have lost your inspiration; if you have a manuscript buried in a drawer and you are afraid of failing.

To achieve this, the first step is to unleash your writing and let go: strengthen your imagination, explore your inspiration, and cultivate your originality. Next, turn your weaknesses into a driving force for writing by exploring your wounds to better utilize them and adopt an effective writing method. Finally, master writing techniques and bring characters to life while crafting captivating stories, controlling pacing, and developing suspenseful plots.

All this by combining theory and practical/concrete applications: writing assignments based on exercises and then within the framework of your project.

During the sessions, you will be guided in your writing project. The trainer will support you in your written communication and offer tools, while helping you to work on and/or optimize your style and imagination.

Proofreading, revising, correcting and formatting articles, theses, etc.: these options are also possible.

Furthermore, these sessions allow one to improve one's written communication and to study the different methods to achieve this (email, letter, report, presentation...), both in terms of content and form.

With almost a decade of experience, I can tell you that developmental editing is the last crucial step authors seek. This specific field allows an objective outlook on the creative projects without bias towards characters, contextual components, and writing style.
Editing in its entirety is designed to polish and bring out the best version possible of a book. Developmental editing takes it to the next level with analysing characters, settings, backgrounds, and writing style without getting tanged in the sentiments all the mentioned elements invoke.

If you are looking for general, skills-based ELA help, we can discuss your needs and I will implement an individual curriculum to suit your goals.

I have extensive experience helping students improve their reading and writing skills with great success. This includes writing structure and content development, grammar, punctuation, spelling, phonics, reading comprehension, literary analysis, and more.

My lessons are safe spaces where anybody can explore, experiment with and develop their imagination and creativity. I focus on making every lesson feel like a practical workshop rather than a traditional lecture.
You may bring whatever you have — an idea, a first line, a half-written chapter, a finished story, a drawing, coursework, or even nothing at all — and together we’ll figure out where you are in your creative process.

From there:
We make and we test. We write and read it out loud. Hearing your own words will help you spot what works and what needs improving.

We work on your project. Some students like specific exercises, others prefer to develop their own novel, screenplay or school assignment with personalised feedback. Every lesson is adapted to your goal and pace.

We work through a writer’s biggest challenge; writer’s block. Whether you are struggling to come up with ideas or you find yourself stuck; I will help you overcome it. A practical way might be a 10-minute freewrite, interviewing one of your characters, stripping a scene back to pure dialogue or trying a completely different exercise to get your imagination moving again.
Finally, you’ll leave each lesson with practical tools, clear next steps and techniques to build momentum, confidence and creative discipline. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy the creative process and feel excited to keep writing long after the lesson ends.

I work with students aged 6 and above, from complete beginners to more experienced writers. I also teach English and German.

As an author with a Master's degree in literature and over two years of teaching experience, I offer mentoring services to writers who aspire to write a book, regardless of genre: thriller, fantasy, autofiction, autobiographical novel, romance, etc.

My role as a mentor is to guide you in your narrative choices and teach you the art of narrative structure and sentence construction. I will support you from the very beginning of your project, and also act as a beta reader during the final stages of your novel before it is submitted to publishers.

Whether it's creating a universe, submitting to publishers, writing a letter of intent, a synopsis, or developing film or literary projects, I help you refine your project so that it reaches its full potential.

I advocate a creative and relaxed approach. No silly questions: mistakes are the foundation of your learning. Without them, you won't be able to progress.

I enjoy designing activities that stimulate thinking, encourage creativity, and allow students to progress at their own pace. I am also sensitive to learning disabilities.

I adapt easily to schedules and needs. Naturally organized and independent, I am proficient in the digital tools used in education and I create my own teaching materials while guaranteeing high-quality schoolwork.
