My writing background includes:
• a BA in English Literature and a Graduate Diploma in Creative Writing;
• teaching English for 14 years including as a Matriculation specialist;

- submissions, reports and government policy;
- marketing materials;

• inaugural board member of Wet Ink, a South Australian magazine of new writing.

I am available for freelance writing assignments and board work, as well as public speaking on biography writing, Barbara Robertson’s art and associated topics.

With a passion for things literary I established a Books and Words Group in the Yankalilla/Normanville district in March 2011 to foster regular book events for locals.

My strengths, based on the belief that one can make a difference at a local level, are in:
• general and creative writing;
