Stephen Mcgowan

I am award-winning writer, freelance developmental editor and, creative workshop facilitator.

I have ran higher education level workshops and seminars that discuss creative writing and publishing in a collaborative way, bringing in student experience as well as experiences and advice from the industry.
These sessions have been hybrid online/in-person sessions which allow the maximum amount of engagement.

I currently work as an academic support worker for disabled students, and an exam invigilator. This means i have a clear understanding of the expectations of students from GCSE level all the way to MA, and can help prepare you for the change in learning style expected in higher education, as well as the more specific creative writing tasks in higher, as well as GCSE English.

I use Google docs including a drive that will allow you to revisit your work on your own time, as well as look at recommendations for academics and sources that will help you succeed.

I hold an enhanced DBS check and work from the North East of England.
