Our anthology writers – part 3
Julie Kemmy has been writing
for pleasure since she was about 12 years old, and in more recent years has
been writing character studies, short stories, and the outlines of bigger
ideas. She works full-time so usually it is only on holidays that she
achieves anything. She would describe herself as a great reader and
admirer of other good writers, with a lot to learn. Her short story Colin will
feature in Words And Women: Three.
Isabelle King is an actress,
writer and producer. She’s the founder of Books Talk Back; literary events
which support and showcase new writing talent. Isabelle's writing has been
short-listed for the Ideas/Writers' Centre Norwich national fiction competition
and she won an arts journalism competition to be the Embedded Writer at the
Family Arts Conference 2015. Isabelle has written a children's book of short
stories and frequently reads them at family events throughout Norfolk. Her storyYou’re In The Movies, Huni will appear
in Words And Women: Three
Kathy Mansfield was runner up in a
competition by Leaf Books in 2006 with The
Steady Bookkeeper which was published as a single short story, set in
Malawi. She does not write about stereotypical ‘African’ tragedies: famine,
war, destitution. She writes about the other Africa: a complex, energetic and
optimistic continent of fifty four very different countries. Her current project is a collection of short
stories set in the context of Zimbabwe and its sometimes violent efforts to
change from a white-owned system of agriculture to one which reflects the larger
population. Her story The Friends will be included in Words And Women: Three.
C.G. Menon has won a number
of short story awards, including the Asian Writer prize, the Winchester
Festival award and The Short Story prize. Her stories have been broadcast on
radio and are published or forthcoming in journals including The Lonely Crowd
and anthologies such as Siren Press' Fugue
II, the Rubery Book Award short story collection, the Willesden Herald
shortlist and the first Words and Women collection. She lives in Cambridge, and
is currently working on her first novel. Her story Sacraments will feature in Words And Women: Three.
Margaret Meyer is a writer,
therapeutic counsellor and bibliotherapist. She has worked in schools, museums,
and is currently a reader-in-residence in the prison service. Before training
in psychology she was a fiction editor with Hodder & Stoughton NZ,
publisher for the Museum of London, and director of literature for the British
Council, promoting UK writers around the world.
A former journalist, Margaret’s non-fiction has been widely published.
Her latest, an essay on ‘not knowing’, is included in the forthcoming The Wisdom of Not Knowing, published by
Triarchy Press. Margaret’s story Leda’s Swan will appear in Words And
Women: Three
