Afrika Green  found her writing voice whilst on the Pet Shop Boys ‘Super’ world tour (2016). She worked with Jacqui Lofthouse in the early stages of her writing career and also received an editorial report from Rosalie Love at The Writing Coach.

I still remember the day I signed up with Jacqui at the Writing Coach. We had a brief chat on the phone and I chose the year long mentorship package. In many ways it was a life-changing decision, I hadn’t written a story before. I completed my memoir under Jacqui’s supervision and now have a publisher for that book. The whole process gave me the validation that I am a writer and now have the confidence to take on new challenges like writing articles for my local paper and looking to complete my next book.
