About Me

I am an author and writer with decades of experience in books, magazines, newspapers and writing for charities. My latest book is Meet the Dyslexic Club!: fantastic for inspiring younger children and their schools and families. I have two more coming out later this year.

My last book, You can Change the World! Everyday Teen Heroes Making a Difference Everywhere, was written to inspire teenagers to make the changes they want to see in their own lives and in the world around them. This won a Gold Medal for Multicultural Nonfiction in the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards in the USA. It was chosen to support young people with their mental health for the Reading Well Scheme in the UK.

My previous books, Dyslexia is my Superpower (Most of the Time) and Creative, Successful, Dyslexic, were written to show those with dyslexia that with the right support, focus and hard work they don’t need to let anything hold them back.

When I'm not writing books, I write for charities. I also write short autobiographies, so do let me know if you’d like me to write about one of your family members or loved ones. Everyone has a story worth telling and saving.

In a previous life, I was a columnist on the Telegraph Saturday Magazine, Contributing Editor at Options magazine and Senior Features Writer on Woman’s Own magazine. Most of my working days now are spent listening to others and encouraging them tell their stories. There's nothing I’d rather do.
