I became an author because of cancer. I published a memoir to raise money for charity and also raise awareness for women's health. My selfless project is raising the profile of the importance of cervical screening.

My memoir is not for profit. It's pure kindness. No strings. I used thousands of pounds from my own savings so that I could follow a huge dream.

The manuscript was my counseling, my friend and my absolute love. Soon after I received news that my treatment had been successful: I was turning into an author but didn't know it!.

My book is a true story, helps others, raises awareness, pushes the importance of screening. Its an inspiring, gripping read. Because I've followed this dream, it has created a family legacy: my children now have a mum that is an author! I didn't use a publishing house. I took the reigns myself which was a very difficult but rewarding experience.

I have so much to tell about the author process. I believe it will grip the audience because of the reasons my book exists! I am living proof that anything is possible in life if you want it badly enough.

I am a wife and mum of two young adults, just a normal human being who has achieved a remarkable milestone in releasing a book. Others are gaining from my dark and willingness to share my life experience.

About Michelle Camm

46 year old female cancer survivor. Self published author. I released a memoir to raise money for charity and raise awareness about the importance of cervical screening. It's a not for profit, personal project. Books sold: 208. money donated in 13 weeks: £624

Late stage cancer has shaped me into a different person. I have discovered a passion for public speaking. I nurtured this skill when appearing on TV, live radio and when sharing my journey with journalists for newspaper articles. My confidence has flourished at book promotion events. You can research articles all about my journey on the internet

I had a very magical upbringing. My mum was a dedicated business lady. She's no longer in my life but I recognize my strength comes from her parenting.

I offer four talks: My cancer journey. Becoming an author. An inspiring childhood. Wellbeing
