| Introduction | I'm a freelance writer, editor and press officer, and Literature Editor for Creative Tourist. I am a published author and I write poetry, described by Confingo journal as: "Delightful – succinct, deftly organised, eloquent.” I am also a performance artist and I ran live lit night Verbose for three years. Shortlisted for the Bridport Prize 2020, I am a Salt Prizes winner and Best British & Irish Flash Fiction listed, and I was described in Flash Magazine as "one of the most interesting and inspiring authors writing flashes today". Here I tend to ramble on about the arts and creative writing. My professional site is at wordsandfixtures.wordpress.com. |
