A Helping Hand – support for writers and poets
Summer is over, as is my 8 week holiday! I didn’t get much writing done over the break, as I was looking after our (Joseph Robert and my) 2 year old – sometimes a paragraph, but mostly just a few sentences at a time while the babe was asleep. Chipping away counts though, as it keeps the story fresh. Hopefully I’ll pick up the writing pace now that our little one is back to daycare!
About Leilanie Stewart
Leilanie Stewart is an award-winning author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She writes ghost and psychological horror, as well as experimental poetry. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis and create a new sense of identity. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Anthologies, a creative writing publication with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
