Fiction Tutorials

Henrietta Soames offers this service for fiction writers who want to benefit from the concentrated attention that a one-to-one tutorial can provide. You send up to 5,000 words in advance of an hour's private meeting at which the work will be fully discussed with care and consideration. You will receive balanced feedback and suggestions on how to continue to develop your project.

Tutorials can be held monthly or as required. The fee is £40 for a generous hour's session. For works over 5,000 words, fees can be arranged in consultation.

For students who cannot come to London, tutorials by telephone can also be arranged.

To arrange or discuss a tutorial please phone 020-8809-4725, or send an email to .

Quotes:

"If you get the chance to have one of Henrietta Soames' tutorials you'd better jump at it. She is a perceptive and exacting creative writing guru and my work would be so much poorer without her insight and vision. She has the ability to make me look further and deeper into my ideas and narrative and guides me resolutely towards something I am sure I will be proud of...someday."
Jane Cozens

"Henrietta's tutorials provide an excellent service for any writer; a nudge to get the work to her in time, a balanced view to test thematic ideas against, a sharp eye for inconsistencies or character imbalances and most importantly, empathy with the writer. She encourages and promotes while at the same time being the toughest of critics. I know my work is better for her input"
Edwina Bowen

"Henrietta is an inspirational teacher - direct, perceptive and entertaining. She's taught me to understand my characters better, to avoid the obvious, and to understand what works and what should go in the bin!"
Caroline Swinburne

"I trust Henrietta because she has a direct approach and will say what she thinks, even if it's not what you want to hear. She is an energetic, genuine, motivational and sparkly tutor and I value my tutorials - they inspire me to keep going with and believing in my manuscript even when I feel like shredding it. On a more practical note, tutorials with Henrietta act as a regular deadline so there's no excuse not to write, then write some more!"
