Paul P
Paul is a fiction and non-fiction writer with an extensive professional background in cognitive skills and wellbeing. A personal epiphany in his thirties led him to undertake a series of epic adventures, testing his physical and mental endurance in the wild places of the world. For Paul, telling our own stories and hearing the stories of others is integral to finding meaning as we navigate a path through the trials and joys of life. By consciously placing ourselves at the heart of our own story, we can make sense of chapters gone and shape chapters yet to come.

Amarpreet B
Amarpreet enjoyed writing stories when he was a child, but somewhere along the line he abandoned his writerly ambitions. In 2008, he purchased a copy of Richard Yates’s <em>Revolutionary Road</em> and his passion for writing was rekindled. Indeed, Amarpreet’s prose is so delicately rich that we hardly believe he sidelines as an IT consultant too, a rare and exciting breed of writer. He’s currently working on a novel, having acquired an MA in Creative Writing from City University whilst working for an investment firm in Canary Wharf.

Ghostwriter, tekstschrijver en copywriter. Dat is Linda.

Stuart W
Inspired by history's great legal dropouts, Stuart trained as a lawyer before not going back to the office one lunchtime. He soon found a new home in the arts therapies where he worked as a social and artistic researcher for 25 years. Somewhere between drafting client statements, drawing out complex thoughts and feelings in health care, and listening between the lines of social research, he landed at the simple joy of shaping people's stories so that they can be shared with others. Over the years he has written a PhD thesis, a full length academic book about music, health and society; original research papers published in leading international journals, major reports, and numerous chapters for text books. As a ghostwriter he has written blogs and opinion pieces for charities, companies and individual professionals about various corporate and creative topics, and a full length memoir which is to be published in 2025. His original novel is shaping up nicely.
