New Writing Tuition Service

I thought some of you might be interested to know that Mywriterscircle.com stalwart John Craggs, aka Gyppo, has just launched his own online writing tuition service at http://thewritetuition.co.uk. As he says on the site:

Let me ask you three questions, so you can decide if you're interested in becoming one of my students.

Would you like to see the world differently?

To see it with a Writer's Eye?

Write copy which makes the reader sit up and take notice?

If so then you're already in the right place. My main aim in the early stages is to help you discover your abilities as a writer before getting too hung up on the finer details. To help find your own niche as a writer, your strengths and weaknesses. I'll help you develop the essential Writer's Eye, and Writer's Ears, a major boost for fiction writers. It will also help the writer of non-fiction.

Members of Mywriterscircle.com will already know John well in his Gyppo guise. He regularly provides feedback and constructive criticism to forum members, a number of whom have already signed up for his one-to-one tuition service.

Even if you're not looking for personal tuition, however, it's still well worth visiting John's new site, as he has a range of useful resources for writers on it, and is constantly adding more. One of his latest additions is an article on guns and how they are used, from a writer's perspective.

John has a varied and colourful history, having worked at various times as a baker/confectioner, writing and crafts tutor, postman, storyteller, and arena showman. He is an expert knife-thrower, axe-thrower and quarterstaff fighter. And he's also a prolific writer. You can read all about him in his own words in a fascinating article on Linda Jones's Freelance Writing Tips blog. Check it out!
