I'm available to speak live or via Zoom / radio / podcast about the following:
Getting started with writing fiction: avoiding the four main problems that cause writers to get stuck.
How I use my own life experiences and reality to create fiction.
Overcoming confidence issues, shyness and limiting beliefs to become a successful author of nine books.
My story - my journey to becoming an author, including my publisher closing due to covid and having to continue as an independent author.
The experiences and life changes I've had since becoming an author.
My animals and their influence on my life and writing.
Life before getting published: working as a primary teacher, then secondary school English teacher and school librarian. As a librarian I've led two teams of students to write, edit and publish two full novels and my Kids Lit team won the last UK National Final in 2019. We would have represented the UK at the World Final in New Zealand had it not been cancelled due to covid.
