Games Writer and Narrative Designer with 10+ years of experience, teaching game writing, narrative design and creative writing online.

I highly recommend James as a tutor — he is genuinely one of the most trustworthy and skilled professionals I’ve worked with. He supported me in writing a professional research proposal for my doctorate, which led to two successful offers.

What sets James apart isn’t just his strong writing skills and years of experience, but the way he works with you. He takes the time to understand your thoughts and ideas, and helps you express them clearly and effectively. His writing style is critical, concise, and elaborative — which means whatever you’re working on will stand out for the right reasons.

James also asks thoughtful, challenging questions that push you to think deeply about your work. As a result, you're not just submitting a strong piece — you're learning how to write better and think more critically. If you're looking for someone who will not only improve your writing but also help you grow as a thinker and communicator, James is the tutor to go to.

James is an outstanding creative writing tutor.
During my Creative Writing BA and later my work as a writer for an escape room company, his insight and feedback were invaluable. He helped me strengthen my storytelling skills and develop my own voice.
He’s incredibly supportive, always thoughtful with his critiques, and has a real gift for helping ideas come to life on the page.

I had the pleasure of being tutored by James while I was developing my thesis, and his support made a significant difference, not just in terms of structure and clarity, but in how I was able to bring ideas to life on the page.

Although my thesis was on a complex topic in clinical psychology at the master’s level, one that required a strong grasp of nuanced and technical material, James was able to help me effectively. The fact that he could engage with the content and offer meaningful guidance, even without a background in the field, genuinely impressed me. It speaks to both his adaptability and his ability to grasp and communicate complex ideas clearly.

What stood out most about James was his ability to take something that felt dense and academic and help me shape it into a compelling narrative, as he helps you understand what story you’re trying to tell and how to tell it better. James has a real talent for showing you how to connect with your audience, whether you’re writing a research argument or a piece of fiction. He asks the right questions, encourages creative risks, and brings an enthusiasm for storytelling that makes the process enjoyable and inspiring.

In short, James is not only a skilled writer,he’s a thoughtful, patient, and inspiring teacher. His feedback is always constructive, and his passion for writing is contagious.

If you’re looking for someone who can help you think more creatively, write more confidently, communicate more effectively and give you genuine insight into the craft of writing, I can’t recommend James highly enough.
