I should know; I was one too, for about thirty years, and I carried that lack of belief around with me like a bag of mouldy spuds. You might think that what\u2019s stopping is you not knowing what the character arc for your main protagonist is, but really, it\u2019s a lack of confidence in what you\u2019re doing. As your mentor, I want to listen, feedback, understand what\u2019s special about your writing, and help nurture and bring that out as much as possible. I want you to find that self-belief that will help you break through and keep going.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m definitely a self-taught author. I haven\u2019t done an MA in Creative Writing. But I have written, professionally, since my 20s, across many different disciplines, from sales to marketing to editorial to journalism. My experience as a writer across these different fields has helped me develop resilience and an understanding of the importance of fluidity and adaptability when writing and editing. When I had the idea for BLOOM I was a tired and frazzled new parent working part-time who was convinced her idea was too weird to be a book but couldn\u2019t stop herself from writing it. It was sheer bloody-mindedness that made me finish it, and give it to a few friends to read, and send it to agents, and deal with rejection, and rewrite it, and send it off again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also particularly keen to debunk myths around: getting into publishing, finding an agent, how polished and perfect your work should be, how much writing you should have done, what sort of writer you should be, how much you should write every day, and any other unhelpful assumptions that might be holding you back from taking your next step towards publication, while also sharing tips that helped me turn my unpromising first draft into an actual book. I look forward to hearing about your work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"alternating-blocks  alignfull\" id=\"\"\r\n>\r\n    <div class=\"content-container\">\r\n                    <div class=\"alternating-blocks-container\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"alt-block-container text-60\" >\r\n                        <div class=\"alt-block-media\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"alt-block-img\">\r\n                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bookshelves-alternating-content-block-720x475-1.png\" alt=\"\">\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"alt-block-text-container\">\r\n                            <div class=\"block-title-text-container\">\r\n                                <h2>Why we love Nicola<\/h2>                                <div class=\"wysiwyg-container\"><p>At Jericho Writers, we\u2019re a team of authors, just like you.
