...but not everybody has enough material to fill a whole book. Not everyone has the time, ability or inclination to write it well. And few people can afford to pay thousands for a vanity publisher. You may want the media to notice your story, or you might want to share it only with close friends and family.
Do you have a life event that you want to record for posterity?
Have you had an experience that you’d like to describe in detail?
Is there something important that you want to tell a loved one, an issue you feel you can't talk about, or don't know how to start explaining?
Do you have a confession to make?
Would you like to recount your lockdown experience?
Do you want to write an important letter to a friend or relative, but feel you don’t have the right words?
Or do you have a friend or relative who would like to tell their story? Perhaps you're looking for an unusual and special gift idea.
After graduating from the University of Essex with a degree in philosophy, I studied postgraduate journalism at Cardiff University. Since then I have enjoyed a varied career, the majority of which has been spent as a freelance journalist and agony aunt. I write features, news and columns for print publications, including broadsheets, tabloids and glossy magazines, as well as for digital outlets, across the consumer, corporate and charity sectors. I’m also an editor, a copywriter and a consultant for PR firms, and I lecture in journalism. I've had seven novels for teenagers and young adults published.
