Our Mission

At Writing Dr we are dedicated to empowering aspiring writers to become published authors.

You will work directly with Nicola and Peter.

Our personable and accessible approach will help you along the journey every step of the way. You won’t be passed off to other writers/coaches, your journey from start to finish will be with us. We’ll have a lot of fun working with you and helping you to enjoy the process of becoming a published author.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive resources and support to help entrepreneurs, businesses, and coaches with the skills and guidance needed to showcase their business talents, skills, and expertise in a published, polished book.

With a focus on creativity, innovation, and empowerment, we strive to help our clients become successful authors, who inspire and have an impact on their audience.

We will help you identify the content to use, how to plan the book, and how to write (or write it for you). Plus we’ll help with copyediting, proofreading, formatting, and the publishing of your book.

Chris Hallett

I'd never thought of writing a book until I met Peter & Nicola from the Writing Dr. It took a lot of coaxing from this incredible duo to convince me that I was a writer, and it took even longer to believe it myself, and believe it I did. With their combined support, their own book and their book planner, the process was undeniably one of the best of my entire business career. Without their help I'd still be talking about it, and now I can safely say I'm a published author. The idea behind Purpose Before Profit came from 35 years of worldly business experience, and with their help, it came life and was published in 3 months. I can strongly recommend Peter & Nicola to help you get your book written and published and support your ongoing journey as an author. My book was written to open doors and opportunities, and it has achieved that goal in just the first month.

Working with Peter and Nicola at Writing Dr is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Bringing The Stallion Mind into the world with them has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Since publication, I’ve received countless compliments about the book’s cover, quality, structure, readability, and professional finish. While my name may be on the cover, so much of what people are praising is the result of the combined efforts of Nicola’s editorial brilliance and Peter’s exceptional organisation, project management, and attention to detail. They took my vision and manuscript and helped elevate it into something far better than I could have achieved alone. Thank you both for your expertise, guidance, kindness and support throughout the process. I couldn’t be happier with the finished book, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to any author looking for a publishing team that truly cares about producing outstanding work. It has been a privilege to work with you both. Cat Williams Author of The Stallion Mind - Amazon No.1 Bestseller! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am currently working with the very wonderful Nicola and Peter at Writing Dr who have not just been incredibly amazing to work with but have also got my book to NUMBER 1 as a bestseller in it’s category! We have laughed, cried (I have a sad subject matter), been uplifted and become good friends over the past few months. Nicola and Peter are exceptionally tolerant, understanding and empathetic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you both ❤️❤️

Peter & Nicola are a truly inspiring duo who have an incredible gift for guiding others on the journey to becoming authors. Their passion for helping people share their stories and knowledge shines through in everything they do. The way they teach, support, and empower aspiring writers is nothing short of transformative. They don’t just help people write books—they help them unlock confidence, clarity, and a powerful sense of purpose. Their approach is both practical and encouraging, making the entire process feel achievable and exciting. If you’re looking for guidance, insight, and genuine support on your author journey, you couldn’t be in better hands than with Peter & Nicola.

I have attended a few of Nicola and Peter's webinars now and they are not only really knowledgeable, but their passion for what they do is palpable. I have also downloaded their freebies (there are quite a few) and their freebies are really helpful. They obviously want you to write your book really well, and their freebies help with that, even though they provide a service where they could write it for you. I am determined to write my own, but as time goes on I just don't seem to have the time. I am seriously considering getting them to write it for me, as they can have your book written for you in as little as 3 months! I have no hesitation in asking them to write it for me if I give up trying to find my own time!
