The M-Team

Jean Rafferty and her colleagues in the M-Team - arts critic Mark Fisher, broadcaster Mike Higgins and photographer Elaine Livingstone - are qualified mentors who are offering competitive rates for mentoring. We are experienced in journalism, creative writing, non-fiction books, self-publication, traditional publishing, broadcasting (both television and radio) and photography.

We find that online sessions work in much the same way as face-to-face meetings. If you're struggling to concentrate, want to find a new way forward, or simply want to explore your options, we can help you.
