I’m an author and publisher based in the UK
I’ve been writing for over ten years and have published seven books – one of which – Dare to Write – was a Finalist in the Business Book Awards 2023.
In March 2026, I became the Founder of Areta Press – a hybrid publishing company, exclusively for women experts. We publish exceptional books that change how people think, not just what they know.
My mission is to support women founders, experts and leaders to write books that help them stand out, earn more and become the voice in their industry.
So, why should you work with me?
I’ve been where you are now
with a spark of an idea but unsure how to put it into words, so you can rest assured that I’m fully committed to the process. I’ve got first-hand experience of taking a book (or seven) from concept to launch – and beyond!
My years of writing have enabled me to develop a system and a structure that works,
banishing the blank page and providing you with a clear path that’s reassuring and uplifting. Your readers will experience a transformation that will change their lives.
Teaching is in my bones
so you can be sure I’ve got what it takes to help you complete your book at a pace that suits you, as well as provide the kind of constructive feedback which brings both clarity and motivation.
I’m passionate about championing female voice
particularly as female writers are sorely underrepresented in the business book world – and bringing greater diversity and representation through the power of books.
Want to learn even more?
I’ve not always loved writing. I’m not someone who knew my calling while floating in the womb. What I have always loved, though, is reading. During my childhood, I always had my nose in a book.
My love of writing came later, when I decided I wanted to write a children’s book. And so began my writing journey. Years (and hundreds of thousands of words) later, here I am with seven non-fiction books under my belt and a novel in progress.
At the end of 2020, I decided to get laser-focused on helping others achieve their writing goals – and so my book coaching business was born. In 2026, I became the Founder of Areta Press – a hybrid publishing company exclusively for women experts.
I’m also the host of the Creating Happy Writers podcast, a show that helps aspiring writers learn more about what it takes to write a business book, and the author of Dare to Write, which takes readers step-by-step through the writing and publishing process.

And now the juicy bits…
When I’m not writing, I’m likely to be:
- Reading a book with a good cup of coffee and a Borders dark chocolate ginger biscuit.
- Walking my dog, Flo, and listening to the sounds of nature.
- Running or lifting weights – anything to battle the woes of peri menopause!
- Watching a detective series on TV – old or new, bad or good, I tend to get hooked! And it all started with Murder, She Wrote…
- Working on my novel – I’m currently writing a cosy mystery series set in a bookshop (of course!)
