Bio

I have always loved writing and ten years ago was attending and leading several writing groups. Unfortunately, many of my fellow writers were becoming discouraged at the limited opportunities for publication. So...with the much-appreciated encouragement of my writing friends I began Positive Words magazine. The first issue came out in November 2002 and since then hundreds of writers have been published between the monthly pages. Most have been from Australia but there have also been some very welcome pieces from Great Britain, New Zealand, USA, Luxemburg, Spain & South Africa. Positive Words is a small print run, distributed by mail and available by subscription. Submissions and subscriptions are always welcome but the submissions must be in hard copy. Send to PO Box 798, Heathcote 3523 Victoria or email me at positivewordsmagazine@live.com.au for further information. I write poetry and short stories and am working on a novel. Some of my stories have been published in Woman's Day (Australia), My Weekly (UK), That's Life (Aus), Take 5 (Aus) and various anthologies and journals. I have been fortunate to win a number of prizes including The Martin Simms Medal for Literature(2008), The Mary Grant Bruce Children's Writing Award and the Joseph Furphy Commemorative Literature Prize 2008.
