KAREN COLLYERKaren's passion is helping all beings to find their voice. Finding her own voice and the courage to express it has been her life's learning. When she discovered public radio in 1987 her creativity and passion for life was ignited. From there life wasa rollercoaster ride of finding her voice, losing her voice, finding her voice... In 2003 Karen studied professional writing and editing, and was mentored by Leone Peguero, director of Blue Cat Books and a writer of books for children. In 2017 Karen travelled to Hawaii with Rachael Jayne and Datta Groover, and spent four days writing in the Tom Bird Method. Thus began the memoir Karen had believed was too painful to write. Karen discovered that as painful and vulnerable as the writing was, it was also beginning to provide her with a wonderful sense of freedom. Karen's mission as an editor is to support writers and encourage them to express their voice with passion and vulnerability. The editing process is highly intuitive, as Karen tunes in to the writer, their message and what they hope to achieve by sharing their story - be that fiction, non-fiction or memoirs. To write takes courage. You have it, it might just be that you don't realise it yet. Read More Read Less
