About

Winning Words is run by Michelle Teasdale, aspiring novelist, poet, short story writer, dramatist and freelance journalist. In my non-writing life, I work part-time as a nurse and am a mum to a curly five year old little girl. I’m currently editing my novel, with a view to trying to get it published.
