Creative Writing Competition (Carers UK)

I am glad to announce that my poem, For Ted, is highly commended in Creative Writing Competition (Carers UK).

The competition aims to give a different "perspective on what it means to care".

I'm happy to be included in their upcoming anthology. Also, I know that the simplicity but weight of the winning poem, After Diagnosis by Fiona Ritchie Walker, deserves to win.

Interestingly, I feel that this news is an early birthday gift for me (my birthday's tomorrow! :-0), and this news signals my lucky writing career in 2016!

Happy 2016!!!

I'm back! After being quite away for some time, I'm definitely back and ready to start 2016 with a bang!

For now, I'd like to share what I've been thankful for in my writing journey in the last year.

1.) Getting published in different magazines in the UK, USA, and South East Asia.
2.) Being a part of Writing West Midlands Room 204
3.) Having prize-winning poems in The Yellow Book,  I was invited to attend a recognition at Westminster Palace
4.) Having been published in The Poetry of Staffordshire, along side Dame Carol Ann Duffy and Jean Sprackland
5.) Attending The Writer's Toolkit conference
6.) Able to meet more poets and writers and perform at different venues
7.) Able to embark on a new project supported by Arts Council England, Blakenhall Writers Anthology, with the help of Cherry Doyle and Kuli Kohli.

I'm glad of what I've achieved in 2015 but I am happier to start 2016 with more goals and aspirations. I will never give up until I achieve them all!

The Poetry of Staffordshire

So proud to have my poem, Cannock Chase, published in this beautiful new anthology - The Poetry of Staffordshire, from Offa’s Press. Alongside works by Dame Carol Ann Duffy, Jean Sprackland and some of my favourite OP poets. Finally, I feel that I am a well-established 'British' young woman and that I belong somewhere - I'm a Staffordshire lass! ;-)

Call for submission - prose and poetry

I am excited to announce that I will be editing the Blakenhall Writers Anthology with Cherry Doyle and Kuli Kohli.

This project is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Since I have been helping to run Blakenhall Writers Group in Wolverhampton, we've had this idea of publishing an anthology showcasing the works of our members and the community. This year, Arts Council England will help us achieve that!

We will be having some workshops (the first one already happened in June) which will be open and free to non-members. The next workshop will be in September, more details to come.

Anyone who attends our free workshop will be able to submit to our anthology which will be published by early next year and launched at several venues. This will be exciting!
