I am an experienced journalist, author and public speaker with an international career. My copy has appeared in numerous publications including The Guardian, The Independent and The Sydney Morning Herald. I taught Presentation Skills at Lincoln University (no pressure!) and spoke about my Amazon number 1 book, The Process of Poetry, on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row. Moving on from journalism, my later work includes non-fiction books, community plays, heritage trails and Feisty Females, a book of short stories based on a medieval manuscript. My family were £10 POMs, twice, and I have also lived in El Salvador. A key factor for me is audience engagement. I do, naturally, use a Powerpoint to accompany any talks that I give. I am always happy to chat about my work and this is a great way to learn more about me and whether I would be a good fit for your organisation. I am happy to fit in last minute requests, wherever possible. While I am currently taking bookings for next year, I am happy to squeeze into last minute slots for 2026 too, subject to availability. I am a member of The Society of Authors and The Society of Women Writers and Journalists.
