 Writing I have been writing since I was a teenager and am lucky that I can turn my hand to almost anything, and I think its important to challenge oneself and try to push your own boundaries. I have had various work published including poems, short stories, articles, quotations and a novel. I am currently working on a new novel as well as a film screenplay. I receive lots of questions and queries from other writers which I have attempted to answer in the following sections. It is important to note that this section is not an opportunity for me to tell you how to write as that should come from within yourself. It provides some support to hopefully get that pen to paper or finger to key. When I wrote my first novel I wasn't sure where to turn, who to speak to or what to do first. This section will hopefully help you in your quest. My first novel was published by Minerva Press. Whilst they had a good heritage their reputation had been tainted by more recent Vanity Publishing activity. I provide some information relating to them and what happened. Whilst Minerva's reputation held the true potential of my book back its my writing style that really stands out. Compared to my professional and mature word craft of late, its almost amateur by comparison.
One of my
motto's is to never be afraid to look back as it often reveals just
how far you have come! |
