“It’s difficult to classify myself solely as a writer of romance, when in fact writing about women’s lives, and the complexities that has gone into making her that woman, entails a great deal more than romance.”

Emerging Writers 📝
Over a six weeks period I had the time of my life coaching & teaching these emerging adult writers from the Irish Cultural Centre to get their stories onto the page.
We shared stories that saddened and ignited tears, but also plenty of laughter 😂
They were amazing 🤩 exploring their voices, tones, style with passion and hunger. They have found their writing tribe, and I’ll be introducing them to my other writing tribes.
I learned a lot about them and identified similarities between the Irish & Jamaican culture.
Some of them will be attending the @hfwritersfest and taking part in the Open Mic Sessions - which I’m really looking forward to.
At the end of the six weeks I asked them to give me one word that describes their ‘writer-self.’ See some of the words below.
Hopeful
Hungry
Churned up
Giving
Evolving
Encouraged
Sparkling
Truthful

@meetcutebookfest - Romance Writing Festival
Grateful for a brilliant day at @meetcutebookfest - the perfect setting on a beautiful sunny day.
Loved diving into romance tropes, from enemies to lovers, from friends to lovers, some of the most enjoyable ones to write, in my opinion.
We spilled it all. A day wrapped in stories, hearts & heat, speaking love into the room - a chance to speak about the craft of romance writing, a joy to share & connect.

Calabash Literary Festival . . .
The WILDE Foundation Writing groups, JustWrite & Human Stories attended the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica, as part of a writing holiday that has taken 3-years for all the women to save up for.
Included in this was a visit to Kingston Craft Market, the Marcus Garvey Library and Emancipation Park.
The women tackled daily writing prompts, sharing their stories and celebrating their creativity.
This was a perfect prelude to the @hfwritersfest which is taking place 19 July at Bush Theatre.
