KATHY wrote her first
novel at the age of eight and knew from that day that she
had found her muse. She entered and won many writing competitions
while at school and walked off with the prestigious Five Aloe
award for academic achievement in her final year. After majoring
in History and English at university, her writing career took
a back seat for many years while she raised her family and
helped run the family farm. During this time she covertly
wrote three novels, contributed to a local newspaper and had
articles published in a national magazine.
Once their sons had completed university and left home, Kathy attended
short courses in creative writing and writing for profit while
working full time. She wrote a fourth novel while working
for a publishing house and completed a course on editing and
proofreading, graduating with straight As.
She is passionate about English and writing and takes pride in turning
out faultless work. Her friends label her ‘the perfectionist’ and
she’s not sure whether to be complimented or insulted.
Do they really mean ‘pain in the neck’? But that´s
what you want in an editor or proofreader – someone
who will insist on getting it right – and that’s
what Kathy does best |
