Bio | A newbie to calling myself a writer, I have been committed to a weekly writing practice for the past two years. I am working on my first novel and see it as a journey that will hopefully see me publish a long form fiction novel of around 80,000 words. Since committing to a writing routine and “putting myself out there” I have been shortlisted twice for the MornPen Mayors Short Story Awards and received a special commendation in the PWC WIR comp. I will continue to attend workshops, write ins, retreats and festivals and submit to short story comps and manuscript development comps. Hopefully one day I’ll believe myself when I say I am a writer. |
