Peculiar M
Peculiar is an accomplished author of over ten books and a pioneer in regional journalism, with experience at The Tide, ThisDay, and The Abuja Inquirer, where she became a UK correspondent. As a versatile writer skilled in health, business, Christianity, and women-focused topics, she is also an experienced ghostwriter with expertise spanning developmental editing and customer operations.

Roz M
Roz Morris is a writer, collaborator, developmental editor and ghostwriter, working in adult fiction and non-fiction, including creative non-fiction and memoir. She works with all kinds of writers – from first-timers to seasoned pros, some of whom are transitioning from other written media such as radio drama, academic writing and journalism. She does story consultancy for a variety of media, including genre publishers and games developers. She's had even longer experience writing novels and non-fiction herself and working with editors in the major publishing houses. Writing and editing has been her livelihood since 1987. Where did she learn this? First, editing and coaching debut authors for Cornerstones Literary Consultancy. Then, ghostwriting novels and memoirs for Random House and Puffin. She can’t tell you what those titles are as they’re a trade secret and she’s bound by confidentiality clauses, but this work has given her a sixth sense for the powerful stories, themes and dimensions that lurk below the waterline. Third, teaching creative self-editing masterclasses for The Guardian newspaper in London. Last but not least, writing her own novels, memoirs and writing craft books. She's still practising what she preaches, every day. Roz has also taught masterclasses for Writers & Artists and spoken at the Chartered Institute for Editing & Proofreading. She's editor-in-chief for the Alliance of Independent Authors. She's judged major writing competitions in fiction and creative non-fiction (including the Amazon Kindle Storyteller Award and the Vine Leaves Press International Voices Award). And a manuscript she doctored in its early stages went on to win the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. It's hard to get Roz away from her writing desk, but when she steps into meatworld you'll find her running, lifting weights, dancing and training her horse in classical Freanch dressage.
