Overcome your fears and unlock creative inspiration to finally get to the end of your writing project.

Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.

➤ Overcome your fears.
➤ Discover the secret to writing 100% fun and 0% blank pages.
➤ Awaken this writer's flame that has been dormant in you for a long time.
➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, put an end to the fear of writing! Isn't it difficult to be consumed by the desire to write your project and not succeed in doing it? Break forever the insurmountable wall that prevents you from writing today.

It is a matter of combining improvements in form with improvements in substance. For this, the sessions can for example take place according to your needs as follows:
a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.
c) A series of precise and pragmatic recommendations and their application through style exercises.

Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:

- Study your text
- Build text, song lyrics etc
- Calmly polish the style
- Research and develop your lexical fields
- Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others

All this by combining theory and practice: Writing work from exercises then as part of a personal project.

During the sessions, you are guided in your writing project. The trainer accompanies you and teaches you the preparation method, gives you writing tools and helps you work on your style and your imagination.

The objective is multiple, including a reflection on one's own literary path, an introduction to the basic tools of style work and exercises on description.

Learning objectives:
- Identify your writing path.
- Mobilize your imagination.
- Learn and master the practical writing tools.
- Broaden its reflection on creation and professional and personal writing.
- Create and develop one or more projects.

Trained in a European Grande Ecole & Ivy League University in the United States, specialized and has been working in Europe and North America for more than 16 years in this field, in reputable international institutions , also intervening in forums and conferences.

- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

Articles, books, columns, film scripts, press releases, radio spots, reviews, TV scripts and simply copywriting with SEO: most of us have tried to squeeze one or more of these types of writing out of the (virtual) pen. However, it is not always easy to deliver good texts. One person has great ideas, but cannot convert them into ink (digital or otherwise); the other is creative, but makes too many spelling mistakes; and a third kind of person is a language Nazi, but fails to come up with fluent, natural-feeling dialogue. The writing course from offers solace.

This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress.

Our writing course

Our course covers all possible texts and can be followed both privately and in a small group. Moreover, we mainly teach you what you are interested in. During our first meeting we will discuss your goals in detail, after which we will focus the entire course on what you exactly want and need. All ages and levels are welcome with us, so we welcome you with open arms even if you have no experience at all or especially need tutoring!

About our coach

To be sure: our head coach is at home in all markets. He wrote his first book, the science fantasy Ice, the Lost Planet, when he was 11. The novel was published three years later, which earned Dirk his city's cultural merit prize and items on almost all national TV and radio stations, as well as articles in every leading newspaper and a large number of magazines. Dirk later also became the very first Flemish author whose books he himself had pinned in English were published by American publishers: Fates Worse than Death: Hunter by Vajra Enterprises and Baour, Strands of Death by BlackWyrm Publishing.

In between Dirk became a journalist. He wrote - or still writes - for 'fanzines', magazines, newspapers and websites such as Zita, Skynet, The Fighting Bard, Mandragon, Dreun, Mindview, Keys & Chords, Bello Magazine, De Zondag, Doorgelicht.be, MetalBorn, BeauSense Magazine, PDF'zines, GameJunks, Rpg.net, the Delta Gids, Cerberus, Cerberus Too, Cerberus Food & Lifestyle, Wellness Insight, Care Insight, Move On, Cult of Cool, Cult of Chic and Cult of Design. Thanks to his wide range of interests, he could go just about anywhere to write passionately about his favorite topics, but there is more.

Dirk wrote hundreds of press releases for PR agency Oskaar and later for his own PR agency, Badass PR - mainly for films, television series, the hospitality industry and various charities. He also provides numerous newsletters and social media for his clients.

Dirk has been a coach since he was twenty – when he was still studying psychology at the KUL – and has written several film and short film scripts as an acting teacher and screenwriter. Numerous radio spots have also rolled out of his brain. The most startling assignment, however, came when Modiphius Entertainment – the largest independent producer and distributor of role-playing games in the world – hired him to write the film script and audio play for Achtung! Cthulhu to write. They were so well received that he is currently reading the complete audio series of Achtung! Cthulhu is finishing. In addition, he is busy working on Iron Sky: The Roleplaying Game, which has been delayed considerably due to the fact that the second film was released much later than expected, production problems, the death of one of the two lead writers and the corona crisis. , but will be released next year at the largest role-playing convention in the world, Gen Con in Indianapolis.

About you

During our writing course, it goes without saying that it is not about us, but about you and your writing! Few things we enjoy as much as watching someone progress and live their passions. That is why we often go a step further after class and continue to support you, whatever texts you want to write!

Creative writing is often portrayed as a solitary task. This cannot be further from the truth! Even professional authors have their work proofread, edited, and through this process redrafted. I offer these services to writers of every level. As a writer myself, I specialise in prose and plays, and am happy to look at work from a spectrum of literature. Specifically, I look to help support you with your work by proofreading, checking for grammar and spelling, but also suggesting literary techniques that may improve your work. Furthermore, I can provide a range of exercises for new writers to explore their tone and style, and am happy to help people to whom English is a second or third language gain confidence in their writing!

With a Master's degree from TAI School, and having taught two courses there since 2024, I now offer one-on-one tutoring to help you improve your writing and let your ideas take flight. And all in English. As an American with real-world Hollywood production experience (on films like The Neon Demon and the Oscar-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), I bring not only a solid foundation in narrative and storytelling, but also practical insight into how your writing influences production, performance, and even financing.

Having lived in Spain for almost a decade has given me a global perspective on film and a deep understanding of international and cultural narrative paradigms. With three short films screened at international festivals (and a fourth premiering this year), I can confidently guide you toward stronger, clearer, and producible writing that stands out and, hopefully, comes to fruition. Not confident in your English? No problem! With extensive experience teaching the language, I'll also help you with translation (from Spanish, of course) so your writing style becomes more fluid and natural.

My approach is nurturing, individualized, and engaging. I believe every student has a story to tell, and my goal is to help them tell it in a way that feels authentic, joyful, and empowering.
