Stuart Wakefield

Stuart Wakefield The Book Coach

With 27 years of experience in theatre, broadcast media, and coaching, I have developed a deep love of character. My journey began with a passion for comic books, TV, and diverse literature, which led to a lifelong commitment to the craft of storytelling.

Holding an MA in Professional Writing, my latest novel, Behind the Seams, reached the semifinals of the BookLife Fiction Prize Contest, scoring 10/10 across all categories, including character. Additionally, my first TV show, based around celebrity characters, is due to air on the UK’s Channel 4.

As an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach, I specialises in story development with a focus on developing character backstory and enhancing emotional depth. My approach combines extensive personal and professional experience to support writers in creating well-rounded characters and compelling stories.
