About Pieter
Since first inking words onto the page, I have dedicated myself to the study of story-craft. From the perspective of my loved ones, I have spent an obscene amount of time and money understanding the structure of fiction. In my time as a mentor over the past two years, I have learned to transfer my knowledge in digestible and constructive ways. This experience has exposed me to invaluable knowledge about the mistakes writers make, from beginner, to advanced. I hope to stoke the fire within you, and nurture you into the writer you never thought you could be.

'Art is fire plus algebra.' said Jorge Luis Borges. Writing is a passion contained deep within the soul. And it is also, like the stroke of a brush, or like a chisel against stone, a skill.
Lesson format:
My mission is to develop your writing skill — your craft — with an in-depth, personalized analysis of your writing.
I accomplish this through way of a report of your writing. You provide me with a chapter/scene, and I create a report analyzing your work. Reports include detailed explanations of tension, conflict, stakes, structure, prose, dialogue, exposition etc. within the context of your manuscript. I also include possible improvements to your craft.
Any questions concerning the report you may have after the session is free of charge, and will remain so in perpetuity.
Specialties:
I specialize in longer-form fiction writing: novels, novellas, screenplays. The report covers analysis of single chapters or scenes and does consider the rest of the manuscript.
Pricing:
The first 2000 words is completely free of charge. From thereon, you will be charged at a rate of R0.25 per word. 1000 words works out to R250. Rates will be finalized once I have received the sample. I spend approximately two hours on a thousand words, so the hourly rate comes to R125.
As specified in the 'Lesson format' section, any questions after the session is free of charge.

Pieter is a very talented writer and a keen practitioner of the art. He understands the writing process and has exceptional insight into literature and all its elements. He is very dedicated, hardworking, and trustworthy. He is an easy person to get along with. Pieter is a former student of mine. I always valued our interaction and found it stimulating and inspirational.
Pieter has an excellent knowledge of the written English language. I use him primarily as a copywriter for my professional advertisements, and his experience in fiction shows. He quickly identifies areas to improve in order to give my advertisements an emotional edge. He explains also in a clear and understandable fashion. His conduct is outstanding, and in the casual conversations we've had, his passion for art is clear. I could not recommend him enough, for whatever writing endeavour you may have.
