I have always had a passion for writing, as a small child learning to read and write I would make up little stories and illustrate them with the images in my mind. I would often tell stories to the nature beings of the hedgerows and hidey holes that I would climb into, to find refuge and solace, whilst watching the human world busying itself around me.
Studying English Literature at school deepened my understanding and appreciation for the art of writing. Launching me upon a journey of gathering and honing the necessary skills for developing this creative craft. I have gone on to study a variety of creative writing modules with the Open University, whilst working and raising a family.
Writing poetry becomes the language that I live and breath, with every thought and conversation finding rhyme and meter.
I dive into the worlds birthed with in every story, short or long, so that I can see, feel, hear and taste them. This enables me to construct a visceral world within your imagination as you read the words I have written or hear the narration as it is read. Each character coming alive as if made of flesh and bone or composite matter.
In the sub menu of this section of my website you will find examples of my craft. In the Writer’s Gallery there are examples of my poetry, prose and short stories, in both written and audio formats. The Sacred Forest is a novel in progress offered chapter by chapter in its unedited form. I will upload each new chapter as I finish it, updating all when editing is complete. Again you will be able to each read or listen or both if you prefer.
Not only do I offer my wordsmithery for your simple pleasure and entertainment, but you can also hire me to write your copy and content, from a simple Biog to full articles and website content.
“I strongly recommend working with Louisa. Her ability to distill the heart of the matter of any topic into a clear, concise and captivating message is remarkable.” – Tanja Woitasczyk
I have written reviews for online gig and festival sites, promotional pieces and personal biographies. So if you have difficulty finding the right words or struggle with the written word in anyway or you simply don’t have the time to work on it yourself, please do get in touch, I will be happy to help.
If developing or exercising your own creative writing abilities appeal to you, I run a variety of regular workshops. Check out Dates for the Diary for up and coming events and subscribe to my newsletter for regular updates and offers.
