About Martyn
I'm a writer based in Melbourne, Australia, completing a PhD in Creative Writing. It's a novel about superhero stories and toxic masculinity. My fiction has been published in literary journals like Meanjin, the comic books of Ahoy Comics, and plenty of places inbetween.
I'm also a screenwriter with representation in the USA and several projects in development. I have experience in pitching movies in the Hollywood system after I wrote an independent feature film, EXIT, that played internationally in 2012. I've even written jokes for TV comedians.
I've run creative workshops at Swinburne University and the University of Melbourne, and I've lectured here at home at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image and overseas at San Diego's Comic-Con.
As a teacher, my role is to help students find their own voice. To seek out fiction they enjoy, and be able to explain why they enjoy it; to use those lessons in their own creative work. No matter what style or genre, we can discover the techniques you need to make it sing.
And don't worry – it's the job of a first draft to be terrible! Now let's get to work on the second.

I'm a PhD candidate at Swinburne University, writing a novel about superhero stories, with a previous Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Melbourne. I've taught at both institutions, guiding students through one-on-one and group workshops.
I tailor my classes to each student, finding the type of writing that most interests them and burrowing down to find what makes it so compelling. We will workshop the student's own pieces and help discover their creative voice. Whether you want to write a movie, polish a novel, or finish a short story, I can help.
All ages and levels are welcome! A typical lesson is one hour, online only.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Martyn for many years in various capacities, including as his university teacher, employer, PhD supervisor (on his creative writing thesis), and friend. His charismatic nature and ability to inspire students to bring out the potential in themselves is a major strength. His naturally fun and witty personality made him a student favourite. His ability to connect with individuals, listen actively, and provide empathetic guidance was very impressive, as was his genuine concern for the well-being and creative growth of his students. I can think of no better person to inspire and guide aspiring writers on their creative journeys. I have every confidence that Martyn will excel in this role and make a meaningful impact on the creative development of those he teaches.
