I write short stories that can be freely listened to here, plus tips for writers creating their blurbs, bios and book trailers. I'm posting one per fortnight at the moment. You can view samples of book trailers and YouTube video intros on my website too. I am currently seeking writers to interview on my podcast too in the contemporary romance, fantasy and the paranormal genres.

Excerpt: Amelia and the Haunted Bookshop

I've found a novella I drafted out and having read the story again, I've had a few ideas about lengthening the story. I've re-outlined and plan to edit it a few times to release it. Have a listen to a couple of pages to see what you think...

Using the Change Curve Stages to Explore Character Emotions

Okay a bit of a long title, uh? It's a psychological look at how helpful the change curve used in coaching and counselling, can be used to plot out your character emotions during an inciting incident. It helps me to flesh out the detail, the pain points, the reality of emotional turmoil and how to explore extreme emotions.

Short Story - Adrift

This is a story I penned a few years ago. I planned to enter a writing competition about the human involvement in changing animal habitats, and then the deadline passed. It's set in a frozen land where humans, seal and polar bears all seek to survive. No spoilers though, listen and I hope you enjoy it! Georgia

Beyond the Wall - Part Three

This is the concluding part of this short story, featuring two explorers, giant magpies, and the fearsome basilisk. Petronella and Aldwin finally have the opportunity to explore further than they've ventured before. What will they find? And, has the story reached its final conclusion? Next week, I'm providing tips for those seeking to use book trailers as part of their book promotional services. I also have a give-away of a 25 second book trailer, worth $40, and I'll share details at the end of next week's podcast. Join me then!

A True Ghostly Encounter & Part One of "Beyond the Wall"

I'm a storyteller, book trailer creator and I write for a living as a Copywriter/eLearning Designer. My passion is creating characters who struggle, yet manage to find ways their goal or dream, even if it is a stepping stone to a longer journey. I like to share how I build my fictional worlds, the inspiration behind characters, and the things about writing that keep me awake at night. I have stories that have captured the interest of an academy in Hong Kong and these are now featured in written and cartoon format, expanding little minds across Asia, well, hopefully! Beyond the Wall is a thee-part story, featuring an introduction and some historical context about the idea behind the kingdom I created. I tend to write paranormal and romance stories, so this is a brief departure, and one I enjoyed creating. Perhaps I see some of the rebellious behaviour of Petronella in my younger self. Part Two will also be quickly available after this episode, and Part Three is in production! I hope you enjoy this. Feel free to follow me on twitter @GeorgiaLWriter.
