About me:
Writer, author, blog dabbler. Animal lover, dreamer, creative muser. Supporter of other creative souls. Goal-setter, life-long learner, "give-it-a-red-hot-go"-er.
In 2019, one delightfully mead-soaked afternoon mid-winter, I sat myself down at a palm-reader at a medieval festival. She squinted at my palm and said "you have a book in you. At least one book". I had been writing since I could hold a pen and had written many novel-length pieces, but, a published book? That had always seemed so impossible. I suppose I was waiting for a publisher to trip over me in my own lounge room, whilst I sat on my couch, watching TV. That palm-reading set a question in my head: what if I worked as hard on improving my writing and getting things published as I had my day-job/day-career? Where would I be? Let's find out! My goal is to shift my writing from a much-loved, life-long hobby into a part-time, semi-professional space. How's that going? SLOWLY! But... I am learning heaps :-) I don't have all the answers yet, but I am not going to stop trying. Join me with:
- Published Pieces: links to where my work is published. Some are in FREE TO READ spaces.
- Blog: writing resources, tools, tips and organisational skills for fellow writers or creative types as well as 'behind the story' stories. Older pieces on Medium. I also present on more visual platforms such as TikTok. Links for all the socials here: https://nicolewalshauthor.com/social-platforms
- Latest News: The newsletter has been retired (for now), replaced with the "Latest News" tab. Yes. All authors should have newsletters, I should get myself back into it, but talking about myself is my least favourite thing to do. Latest info about what has been short-listed, contracted, or what is in the pipeline next is hidden away in the latest news tab.
- Facebook: join me on FB for all the links, news and updates www.facebook.com/nicolewalshauthor
