As an ex-English teacher in my twenties I wrote advertising copy for flavoured milk and women’s clothes. Then I made radio shows with teenagers at Melbourne’s first community radio station. After that, I studied and worked in film. For a couple of years I worked on remote indigenous communities in the N.T. Later I became a shiatsu and a gestalt therapist. Constant threads have been love of words and stories; and compulsive journal-writing. Since 2003 I’ve been conducting creative writing workshops with all kinds of folk, including high security prisoners and drug rehab residents.
