Writing is magical, inspirational and therapeutic. It has changed my life and could no doubt change yours too.
I first began writing for relaxation in 1998 after completing my BSc (Econ) degree in Information and Library Studies as a mature student - which led me into a whole new career. Desperate for a change from academia, I discovered that I enjoyed the freedom and the personal creativity writing gave me. I liked the way I could weave parts of myself into my stories, and subsequently sold over forty stories to best selling women's magazines - Woman's Weekly, Bella, Best, People's Friend, Fiction Feast, was published in QWF and published a short series of articles called 'Secret Recipes for Successful Stories' in The New Writer. This led me into teaching creative writing, adding a further dimension to my creativity. In 2003 my life took a different turn and I began teaching A level English Literature and GCSE English as well as Creative Writing classes. I learnt from these experiences that life is full of opportunity if you keep your eyes open. The path contains many twists and turns but eventually leads you home again - in my case to my love of writing. Since the beginning of 2006, my experience in teaching and writing coupled with my creative skills have consolidated in the idea of Write Space. I now run good quality, affordable, courses which cover the many aspects of creative writing, by distance learning and here in misty Kernow. I also give talks and run workshops in any location upon request. Another turn in the path of life which is always full of surprises. I have recently been acknowledged in several books which I have helped people with prior to publication. Some of these are listed on the links page. I also write the Quick Fix column in Writers’ Forum, some of these articles can be seeen HERE
