Information about Joseph

I`ve just finished a PhD in Creative Writing and have extensive experience in the subject. My thesis comprised a creative project - a novel - and an accompanying critical thesis, which considered the work of Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector in the context of philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Although my expertise is in English Lit / Language and Creative Writing, I also have fairly strong background in continental philosophy.

I`ve done a lot of work both inside and outside of school critiquing the work of others, helping peers and colleagues revise their work to a publishable standard. I love working with other writers and always find I learn as much tutoring others as I do working on my own projects. Reading widely is key to good writing, but so is living a full and interesting life, watching movies, making art, having hobbies and passions and interests, and so I try to lead as rich a life as possible and to bring this enthusiasm with me when I`m working with others. I offer writing and English students practical advice and guidance at all levels of formal education, as well as offering more bespoke tutoring to writers working independently.

Availability: Most evenings, some weekdays, occasional weekends. Happy to travel if / when in-person tutoring becomes appropriate.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: I`m a recent PhD graduate in Creative Writing, with an MA in the same subject. I`ve had fiction published in a number of leading UK literary journals - including Ambit, Minor Lits, Litro and 3AM Magazine. I was shortlisted for a Myriad Editions Novel Prize and won the 2020 Bridport Novel Prize for a work in progress. I`ve offered close readings and editorial support to a number of established writers and have lots of experience mentoring undergraduate students during my time as PhD candidate at Kingston University. I was recipient of the Kingston University Award for Academic Excellence for the work I produced on my MA.

I also manage the Members Rooms at Tate Modern, so my professional experience line-managing teams of 100+ has helped me develop a patient, flexible and sensitive managerial style, which translates really well to one-on-one tutoring.
