Be it fiction, factual or opinion… storytelling matters. As a reader first (and what writer isn’t?) I know this well. I still read avidly, for pleasure obviously, but also because it provides me with the best method for learning the craft.
Fiction aside, I write essays and articles – both long and short-form, op-ed pieces, blogs and social media posts. I take serious subjects seriously but write in a manner which is approachable and easy to understand. My writing has been described variously as insightful and honest, as well as witty and relatable.
Non-fiction topics I write about include…
- Life Coaching and NLP
- Psychology, Gestalt Therapy, and Counselling
- Attachment Theory and family dynamics
- Mental Health and self-care
- Journal therapy
- Single parenting
- Mature Dating
- Boarding school
- Expatriate childhood
- Working parent
- Career re-training
- Caring for a Parent with Dementia
- Grief
- Living with an Alcoholic
- Surviving Breast Cancer
- Mindful Photography
Currently you can find my writing on Substack, co-hosted site Fiction Can Be Fun, and my personal blog Debs Despatches. I have a large body of work available offline – contact me for a sample.
