About us 

Writing Dr help business owners, entrepreneurs, write, format, and publish their best business book. If they can’t write it, we write it for them. 

Peter is an ex-detective, an executive life coach, and worked in the business world. He interviews our clients and teases their life/business story out of them. He goes to the darkest and greatest moments of people’s lives and looks at how these link to their products and services, linking the book into their sales process.

Nicola has a BA, MA, PhD in Creative writing, she takes the manuscripts and writes the books into an engaging read that is a can’t put down, which is where many a business book sadly fail! The result is a polished book, that becomes the companies best lead generation tool. Perfect for their personal branding and building know, like, trust. 

We will share our academic, business, and police experience with Graduates to help them develop, and looking to learn from our interns in the process! Approachable, flexible, fun, is pretty much the approach we take.
