Reading in the garden ...
At the moment I am reading My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell, a book that is most fitting to read in the garden surrounded by leafy trees, colourful flowers, fighter-jet tuis and fluttering fantails, and bees and other flying critters. Read more ...

What's your story?
If you've always wanted to write, for your own enjoyment or to share with others, I encourage you to take the first step.
I've helped many aspiring authors navigate the writing process and achieve their creative goals.
As a writing mentor, I'll equip you with the tools and techniques you need, from brainstorming ideas to structuring, writing and editing your work.
I'll be there to guide and support you every step of the way.

Coaching & Mentoring
Have a story you want to tell but not sure where to start?
Need help to get organised, a mentor to sit alongside while you write? It helps to have someone on your side who 'gets it' . Sessions are available 'in person' at The Writing Place or on Zoom.
The '$25/45'
You'd pay over $25 Monday to Friday for daily coffees.
How 'bout investing that in your writing?
Book a 45 minute Zoom or Facebook Messenger session with me for just $25 and let's chat about your project, writing, roadblocks or ideas.
Ghostwriter
Need someone to write for you? Blog? Life story? Memoir? I can help.
"When I first heard of the concept of a ghost writer, I thought it was going to be a very scary experience. ... working with Jane was anything but scary and completely delightful instead. People who know me and have read the book can see all my 'graemeisms' and can’t detect anything else. That’s the brilliance of a true ghostwriter."
- Graeme Axford, author Differently Abled
Workshops
Designed to help you write the story you need to tell ...
My workshops focus on creative writing, life writing, memoir, and journal writing, and are for writers of all skill levels and stages of their work. Workshops are held online (Zoom), at my writing studio, The Writing Place, and at public venues. Please sign up to my newsletter to receive advance notice of upcoming workshops or check on site for updates.
The Writing Place
Join me at my writing place in Arkles Bay, Whangaparaoa.
It's a space dedicated to writing, pondering, thinking, imagining, learning, workshopping and chatting with other writers. My place is a block away from our lovely bay and beach, with great sea views from the front deck and green, leafy bush bustling with tuis and wood pigeons at the back. There are spaces for writing and discussions, decks to sit on when the weather is nice and a cozy woodburner to keep things warm inside when it's not.
Join me for my group workshops or an individual working session in a place that is conducive to the creative process.
