Welcome
I’m John-Paul. I’m a writer and artist. I live in London.
I work at the intersection of story, art, including drawing and painting, and performance.
Creative self-expression is a route to insight, confidence, and transformation – for me and for others.
I help people find a voice, and make a mark.
Work with me
I’ll help you discover and express your most powerful, authentic self.
The work is fundamentally the same, regardless of the specific output:
Micro-Memoir course
Publish in 30 days, by email. A life story. Just not the whole life.
A short course that ends with a real book on your shelf. Three cohorts a year. Read more

Background
Eight books, in 16 languages: fiction, illustrated poetry, memoir and non-fiction.
Worked for years as a journalist, magazine writer and editor on the Financial Times and the Sunday Times.
Trained in classical rhetoric and theatrical improvisation.
Recovered from psychiatric crisis through making art. It wasn’t just recovery but liberation. That experience transformed my understanding of creative practice and informs everything I do.
