Welcome



​ Is your resolution for 2018 to get on with your writing?

Do you want to improve your writing skills?

Could you use some support and expert feedback occasionally?

Would it help to be part of a supportive facilitated writing group?

Are you looking for a mentor who can give you regular one-to-one support?


Whether you are writing a story, novel or memoir for your own satisfaction or publication, advice, support and feedback are always helpful. 

I am a professional writer, editor and creative writing tutor. I taught on the two year Certificate in Creative Writing at Sussex University for ten years, as Lecturer on the MA in Creative Writing at Brighton University and now teach on the Creative Writing Programme based at New Writing South. I also run workshops for Writing Our Legacy, in Black History Month, and for other organisations and have helped many writers over the years. See the About Me and Testimonials pages.

Headshot of author, Umi Sinha
I offer one to one support to writers, feedback on completed drafts of novels, and can advise on technical aspects of writing. If you could use encouragement and deadlines, I can provide the support you need either face to face or on Skype through my Writing Clinic. 
I also run weekly classes in Newhaven and occasional writing workshops at other venues in East Sussex  – see Courses page for details of these.
