About The Speaker...

I am a fiction author with an extensive career in writing. I spent over 25 years writing commercial short stories for women’s magazines and was published extensively both in the UK and internationally.
After completing an M.A. in Creative Writing, I began to write full length novels and have now published three. I am currently working on my fourth with publication due early next year.
I tutor creative writing and enjoy sharing my wide-ranging experiences as an author.
I am an Author Ambassador for my publisher, Matador, a position which enables me to connect with writers who may be at the start of their writing career – or thinking of turning to writing in later life.

About Their Talks...

My talks are inspired by my long career as an author – from articles and short stories published widely in magazines in the UK and internationally for over 25 years, through to novel writing and blogging on all things bookish and writerly.
I love to share my passion for writing.

An introductory talk on writing and what this creative activity can offer all of us in our lives. Whether we are writing for profit, pleasure or personal achievement, writing offers everyone an intimate, consoling and satisfying experience at every age.
In this talk, I look at getting started – at the reasons why people write, the creative process, the stimulus, genres and forms available.

How do you identify the kind of writer you are? From my personal viewpoint as a writer of literary/commercial/book group fiction set in the recent past, I explore my inspirations and go on to look at approaches to setting, characterisation, structure and process and aim to break down many of the myths about writing fiction
