Every writer, no matter how experienced, needs a second opinion on his or her work. The Word Doctors provide sound, objective, constructive feedback and support for writers, and resources for writers' groups. 

Whether you write fiction, non-fiction or poetry, we can help you to achieve your goals. While we are always supportive of writers who are striving to improve,  we won't tell you that your work is better than it really is.


Who are we?

Sarah Willans is a journalist, author and Creative Writing tutor, and administers a national poetry competition.

Helena Nelson lectures in Communication, English and Creative Writing. She is also an award-winning essayist and poet, and a poetry chapbook publisher.


We're not an agency, and we can't guarantee to get you published. We will, however, provide you with a knowledgeable assessment of your work and make practical suggestions for improving it where necessary. 

Visit our personal pages now for information on our individual critiques and tailor-made short courses. For longer Word Doctors courses, see the Courses page.
