Meet The Trainer

Sandy Vaile is a connoisseur of discovery through knowledge and adventure.
​

Her passion for delivering education that is practical and straightforward to apply, has enabled many aspiring authors to reach their potential.

Sandy started training colleagues almost two decades ago in a corporate environment, and her diverse skill set has seen her develop and deliver face-to-face and online training programs around the world. 

Beneficiaries of her writing courses include literary festivals, writers’ centres, and groups like Margie Lawson Academy, Savvy Authors and Romance Writers of Australia.

She has always been a logophile, from writing procedures for high-risk industrial processes to penning fast-paced fiction, so it was a natural progression to want to share that knowledge with others. In her spare time, Sandy runs face-to-face and online support groups, offers a critiquing service and judges romance writing competitions.
