Other writing experience

Since 2010, I have written and published six novels; two YA fantasy adventure, two YA fantasy adventure for weaker readers,  one for children and one adult humour. I worked with Afasic Cymru on the first of the weaker reader novels, which they endorsed when it was completed. I have also written two Teacher’s books to support the weaker reader novels, and a Creative Writing Workbook for people who want to have a go themselves.

Before I became self-employed as a business consultant in 1999, I worked as Editor of a quarterly business newspaper that went out in the Western Mail (50,000 print run), and wrote many articles for that publication, plus additional news releases for the Western Mail that were published regularly during the period 1995 – 1998.

I have successfully completed two Open University Creative Writing courses that formed one third of my Open Degree 2.1 Hons.

Currently working with Script Angel script coach, Lucy Hackney.
