Wonderful, brings me back to why I want to write.
Very useful and thought provoking session …good coffee!

One to One Mentoring

Development support for playwrights, novellists and performance work. Sessions can be held online or in person at The Studio or our Writing Room.

Chrissie has been enormously helpful in the development of my novel, interrogating the story in order to improve characterisation and sub-plotting. I hope she will be mentoring me over the finish line!
— Nick Hanna, novelist
What was MOST helpful to me as a writer embarking on the creation of a very ambitious sprawling new work was to have fresh articulate eyes on the piece. You pointed out some very obvious issues about the work which would cause audience members to be bumped out of the experience. 

As a result of our conversation I am armed with the questions that audience members would be asking themselves before I get an audience... which is a great gift...and the power that a great dramaturg can bring to a work in progress.
