Writing

Can you help me to draft text?

Yes! If you are not confident with writing or struggle to express your ideas in words, I can help.

What have you written previously?

As a former journalist, I have experience of writing about a broad range of subjects. I have written about such diverse topics as renewable energy, popular culture, collectables, careers, sport, health and wellbeing, travel, film and lifestyle, as well as covering numerous human interest stories.

I have a particular interest in real life stories and have helped many individuals to write and publish their autobiography or memoir.

In 2023, I co-wrote and self-published Tea For Jean with my sister, a book about our experiences with the UK adult social care system in respect of our mother.

In 2012, I set up WoSWI Writing Group (now Phoenix Writing Group) to encourage women to explore their creativity through different genres of writing. To date, the group has published four anthologies; Better Than Biscuits, A Book for All Seasons, Write on the Coast and the award-winning Ten Minute Tales, the proceeds of which are being donated to charity.

I have also achieved success in writing competitions including first place in Writing Magazine’s Crime competition for my story Number Seven, which you can read here.

In addition, I have researched and compiled quiz content for several well-known publishers and retail companies. I am co-founder of Light Bulb Quizzes, currently publishing the Supernatural Quiz Book series.
