Writing Works Consulting was set up by me, Susan Mandala, PhD, to help all my clients write their way to greater success. I work with UK-based Universities, Academics, Researchers and Research Students, Schools and Multi-Academy Trusts, Businesses, Local Authorities and Government Agencies, Creative Writers and Creative Writing Groups, and Individuals.
I am a former academic and expert teacher, mentor, and workshop leader with 30 years of experience researching what really matters when we write: choice in language. I bring a deep knowledge of how written English works to my consultancy practice.
“Susan’s sessions are always a highlight of my writing calendar. They are so well-structured, well-researched and entertaining.”
