"Suzanne has a beautiful welcoming personality and the sessions were light hearted, fun and super informative. If you’re looking to write professionally or just for fun I 100% recommend The Curious Wolf."
Hey there, I'm Suzanne, a Creative Writing tutor.
I help budding authors find their inner voice and feel ready & inspired to write their amazing book.
I have a knack of helping the writers I work with bring their stories, their characters, their settings & their own unique style to life. I find the gold where there's doubt and the belief where there's indecision.
I can do this for you!
From "I don't know where to start" to being accepted to an MSt in Creative Writing in Oxford, and everything in between. I have worked with, encouraged and cheered on countless writers and helped them find the power of their voice in my 20+ year teaching career.
When I'm not teaching creative writing, I'm learning and developing my knowledge of positive psychology and I love to bring this into the way that I structure my courses - it's all about exploring our inner creativity and challenging ourselves to be uncomfortable, to push into the unknown and to live life to the full.
My vast experience has enabled me to see every doubt, every block & to develop my own signature path through them to create a fabulous feeling of joy and self worth when the writing really begins.
I feel privileged to work with writers and be part of their journey.
I believe in you and I promise you that I will guide you to develop your voice and be utterly delighted by what you create.

The course consists of 10 x 60 minute sessions on the key skill areas detailed above. It is fully flexible: you may want to have two sessions on character and a quick ten mins on narrative voice: you may want to have a couple of sessions fully on discussing your book.
Whatever is best for you, I will facilitate for you.

If you know that the time is now, go ahead and book straight in on the button below. I will then be in touch to discuss when you would like to meet, the pace you'd like to go at and the areas that you'd like to focus on.
The sessions were really enjoyable and Suzanne encouraged me to explore my newly created character’s mannerisms and quirks in a fun way.
I would highly recommend signing up to The Curious Wolf’s writing course.
So, you're ready to develop your writing & start writing your book - let's dive into how this Creative Writing Course will get you there.
When you sign up to this course I will be in touch to discuss with you if you'd like to meet in person or online, and the space between each session that you'd like us to work with. These can be changed at any time: if you're not ready for the next session, we can add in a bigger gap; if you're raring to move more quickly, we can do that too.
It's very important to me that this course is bespoke to you.
Focussing on each key skill to develop your writing will not only give you the building blocks of excellent work, it will also remove the fear that you need to know everything at once as that can be one of the major components of writer's block.
Let's take time on your characters, think only of them, get to really know them, get to truly understand them.
If we do this for each skill area detailed above, your book will write itself, almost. I can promise you that it will make the process a lot easier! It's all about taking one small step at a time.
So, you're not just signing up for a Creative Writing Course. You're stepping into a
journey towards believing in the power of your words and your voice, backed by a detailed exploration of key creative writing skills.
Don't let your story remain untold, take the
first step towards setting free your inner author with this bespoke & comprehensive Creative Writing Course. Sign up now!
Suzanne founded The Curious Wolf as she believes that inside every one of us is a curiosity to find out more about ourselves and the world around us, a curiosity to increase our creativity and connection, to engage fully and actively in the exciting journey we’re on called life.
With an MA (hons) degree in Politics & English and a 20 year career in teaching English and ESOL, Suzanne’s knowledge and experience of bringing the amazing transformation that Creative Writing brings is central to her dedication to expanding the areas that she works in.
From exploring key writing techniques to running full day Creative Writing workshops & courses, to help budding authors get started on writing and developing their books, she loves nothing more than to be immersed in this world of creativity.
Leaving her teaching career at the end of 2019 to join her husband in their stationery business, Com Bossa, led to a journey of self discovery, mindset and positive psychology which she is now delighted to bring to a wider audience through her Writing for Wellbeing sessions. Covering concepts such as gratitude, joy lists, sensory writing and journalling prompts, to name but a few, these sessions increase self worth, self confidence and promote a beautiful sense of compassion and empathy.
What drives Suzanne, is her passion for seeing the transformation in the people that she works with that an immersive and interactive workshop or course on Creative Writing or Writing for Wellbeing brings - the increase in confidence, the delight in their eyes when they realise the ability within and the progress that can be made in a short space of time.
In her down time she can often be found walking her two lurchers, Rudi & Pixie, or talking about them, or taking photos of them . . . .
