The Hothouse Project is a vehicle for me to pass on to new writers, both in classes and in one-to-one tutorials, some of what I’ve learned in forty years hewing at the journalistic coalface.
Writing is both a professional skill and a fundamentally life-enhancing ability well worth developing even for those who have no ambitions to turn pro. Whatever else you do in your life, being able to write coherently, informatively, entertainingly and eloquently is an asset comparatively few people possess.
Talent is inborn. Technique can be taught and learnt. Skill is developed. I can’t guarantee to turn a bad writer into a good one, or even a good writer into a great one. What I CAN do is help a good writer become a better one, and a promising writer to develop the skills and sensibility necessary to be able to deliver on that promise.
If there’s a writer in you, I’d like to try to bring it out. I love the idea of nurturing talent. I want to help you to do work you’ll be proud of, and I want to be able to be proud of you.
The Hothouse Project holds classes in eight-week courses or private one-to-one tuition in North West London.
