Helen is  available to speak in person 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 she uses her own life experiences and reality to create fiction.
  • Overcoming confidence issues, shyness and limiting beliefs to become a successful author of twelve books.
  • Her story - the journey to becoming an author, including her publisher closing due to Covid and having to continue as an independent author.
  • ​Her animals and their influence on her life and writing.
  • Life before getting published: working as a primary teacher, then secondary school English teacher and school librarian. As a teacher / librarian she's led teams of students to plan, write, edit and publish three full novels and her Kids Lit team won the last UK National Final in 2019. They would have represented the UK at the World Final in New Zealand had it not been cancelled due to Covid.
  • Active writing workshops are available in planning and starting to write a children's book.
