Mona P
Mona has been writing and producing travel programs, documentaries, TV specials, commercials, corporate videos, and off-the-wall events for the best part of two decades. Her magazine articles have seen print in several countries, and she published a music, arts and events magazine for three years. She is a fountain of semi-useless information, and when she grows up, she’s going to be a visual artist. Mona graduated with a double degree in Psychology, and Guidance & Counselling but she never went into practice. Instead, she took her sense of empathy and excellent interviewing skills on the road to support her wanderlust. The ability to connect to people is a gift which she pays forward by writing stories that engage and encourage.

Roz M
Roz is a writer, collaborator, developmental editor and ghostwriter, working in adult fiction and non-fiction, including creative non-fiction and memoir. She works with all kinds of writers – from first-timers to seasoned pros, some of whom are transitioning from other written media such as radio drama, academic writing and journalism. She does story consultancy for a variety of media, including genre publishers and games developers. She's had even longer experience writing novels and non-fiction herself and working with editors in the major publishing houses. Writing and editing has been her livelihood since 1987. Where did she learn this? First, editing and coaching debut authors for Cornerstones Literary Consultancy. Then, ghostwriting novels and memoirs for Random House and Puffin. She can’t tell you what those titles are as they’re a trade secret and she’s bound by confidentiality clauses, but this work has given her a sixth sense for the powerful stories, themes and dimensions that lurk below the waterline. Third, teaching creative self-editing masterclasses for The Guardian newspaper in London. Last but not least, writing her own novels, memoirs and writing craft books. She's still practising what she preaches, every day. Roz has also taught masterclasses for Writers & Artists and spoken at the Chartered Institute for Editing & Proofreading. She's editor-in-chief for the Alliance of Independent Authors. She's judged major writing competitions in fiction and creative non-fiction (including the Amazon Kindle Storyteller Award and the Vine Leaves Press International Voices Award). And a manuscript she doctored in its early stages went on to win the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. It's hard to get Roz away from her writing desk, but when she steps into meatworld you'll find her running, lifting weights, dancing and training her horse in classical Freanch dressage.

Marion M
Marion is a writer and documentary film maker specialising in life stories. She is a New York Festival Gold Medal Winner for biography, and the writer and director of an Emmy award-winning documentary feature on the courage of the greatest generation who made D-Day happen. She is also Grierson Award and Royal Television Society nominee for her work, and the recipient of two special commendations by the Association of International Broadcasters. Her global, in-depth interviews range from Hiroshima survivors to Hollywood superstars. Her speciality is drawing people out and creating a lasting testimony from their own words. These include conversations with a British Prime Minister, two American Presidents and with our own King at his Welsh hideaway in his last years as Prince of Wales, who confided about what it was like to face the world’s cameras as a shy young man at his investiture. She has met soldiers and children of wars. She has travelled with a much-loved British actor to find his family’s roots in Barbados. She has met a grown man who as a boy sheltered Martin Luther King in his home in the era of the Birmingham riots. She is a fluent French speaker, and has interviewed heroes of the Resistance, Paris fashionistas, and political agitators. Along the way she has been privileged to transform these conversations into compelling biographies. Marion would love to write your story. To find out what makes you tick, to explore your own memories, and discover the world that shaped you.
