Hello and welcome to my website!
It’s such a cliché for writers to talk about how much they care about writing – or how much they’re tormented by it.
But as writers, it is what drives us. It’s our passion.
I love language (and languages), the use of it, playing with it, making things of beauty with it, crafting and honing effective text, coaxing it into stories and narratives of great power and persuasion.
ABOUT ME
I HAVE WORKED OVER 30+ YEARS IN THE WRITING INDUSTRY…
as a journalist in Ireland and Germany, and as dramaturg and literary manager in the Irish theatre world. My extensive experiences in writing, interviewing, editing and coaching have taught me much about the craft of language – often through mistakes, sometimes from moments of terribly exciting synchronicity. I can write in a great variety of styles, genres and narratives; my long years of reporting on multiple aspects of German and more recently French topics and events have given great range to my areas of expertise.
