I’m Wayne Kelly – a writer, producer, script consultant and creative mentor with 20 years of experience bringing stories to life on the page and on screen.

As the host of The Write Place Podcast, I’ve interviewed hundreds of bestselling and award-winning authors, distilling their insights into practical tools for writers at every stage.  I’ve written crime thrillers, directed films, and created professional video and podcast content for well-known brands. But my real passion is helping writers like you gain confidence, structure your stories, and finally get your work out into the world.

I know how daunting the technical side of self-publishing can feel, so I’ll help demystify the process and guide you through it, step by step.

Whether you’re stuck on chapter one or ready to publish, I offer courses, coaching and community to help you make meaningful progress at your own pace, with the tools and encouragement to actually finish your draft.
