Your instructor:

Rick began writing stories as soon as he could write. As a child, he would shut himself away in his bedroom and bash away on his Windows 95 computer for hours.

As Rick grew up, he had to overcome multiple mental health issues, including OCD, Bipolar Disorder and Tourette's Syndrom. Rick did battle through, going on to become a stand-up comedian, through which he performed three Edinburgh Fringe Festival shows. Eventually, Rick gave up the stand-up lifestyle to become an English and Drama Teacher. In 2018, Rick then gave up being a teacher and achieved his lifelong dream of being a full-time author.

Rick now lives in Cheltenham, where he works hard at writing horror and thriller novels, most notably known for The Sensitives

Who this course is for:

  • Aspiring Writers
  • Horror Writers
  • Thriller Writers
