Youthful, easy to understand, relatable
How did you get started?
Editing - I was hired as a creative education manager, dealing with narratives written by under 18s. I also previously set up a training company that taught kids how to write flash fiction.
Where do you get story ideas?
I get most of my ideas when I'm showering. Water calms me and gives me ideas.

SNACK FICTION BOOK 1 is a great book because it showcases diversity in writing styles and approaches.
