ROMANCE WRITING FESTIVAL - 18 OCTOBER 2025
πI had such an inspiring, joy-filled time at the Romance Writing Festival in Bournemouth on 18 October 2025! π
I was lucky enough to meet some truly wonderful fellow authors β Alice G May, Penny Mappoura-Salmon, Paige Toon, Milly Johnson, and Phillipa Ashley. Sharing space with new, aspiring writers as well as authors Iβve admired for so long felt like a dream come true.
I was also delighted to be interviewed by the brilliant Sophie Beal, where we dived into Find Me, how to spot a narcissist, and how to navigate and survive toxic relationships. If you havenβt come across Sophie yet, I canβt recommend her YouTube channel and podcast, Beneath the Page, enough. She and Steve Couch sit down with different authors in every episode, uncovering the person behind the stories we write.
