A far flung corner of the internet where you can read about writing for teens, children, adults and the educational market... and perhaps about me and life in general!

J K Rowling: a small world
It really is a small world.
Some time ago I mentioned to my co-writer for the WH Smith KS3 Challenge English series, Steve Eddy, that I had worked at Wyedean School in Gloucestershire, now famous because of its previous pupil, J K Rowling.
He surprised me by saying that not only had he worked there also, but that he had taught J K Rowling himself. Given that we had not met there as I had taught there some twenty years later, I thought it was an amazing co-incidence.
Well, today, Steve informs me that the Sunday Mirror has featured an article about his 'illustrious past'. So here's a link so all of you can read it too!
I wonder whether my working alongside Steve means I too may have as bright a future as JK Rowling. We can but dream!
