I’m not saying I had any idea what it really meant or how you went about it, but I thought being a writer would be cool.  I went through school, university and a good few jobs always writing a journal and short stories and bad poems for myself.  But in 2005 I got the chance to write some magazine articles for which I was paid – I was sent a pre-launch copy of a magazine for play workers and I emailed the editor saying I thought I could write something t ..read more

The sound for stories A few years ago I took a job that required a two hour commute, and that was when traffic was good.  I left home early, mostly in the dark, to make my way across country lanes, dual carriageways and through busy towns.  The radio was a good companion but soon I felt like I wanted to be a little more productive during my commute, other than singing to the charts at the top of my voice.  A friend of mine recommended that I should start listening to audiobooks.  She told me that audiobooks had been her constant companion when she was on maternity leave ..read more
