About Me
My name is Tina Williams and I live in a small town in South Wales, UK. I've been a fiction editor and author for the last nine years, but a reader and book lover for forty (...and a bit). I am passionate about reading, writing, books and literature. As a writer myself, I have a lifelong connection with stories that extends my interest beyond the mere enjoyment of well-crafted 'images' on the page, into empathy and admiration for those who put them there. Despite what some may think, it's not easy transferring a story from head to paper, and it's even harder to do it well.
Writing is a solitary experience. It is alone that the words are first put down, arranged and rearranged, drafted, redrafted, punctuation erased and then put back again. But when you've done all you can, the next stage doesn't need to be done on your own. I take huge pride in working with creative writers of all kinds across various genres, helping them on their journeys to publication. Each writer and each story is unique - in ability, style and purpose. I see no boundaries, no hierarchies, no boxes or glass ceilings. Writing - like reading - is for everyone. TINA WILLIAMS |
