    • Entrepreneurship

Aged 58 Mary found herself staring ageism in the face.
Full time work wasn’t coming her way. And she realised perhaps she didn’t want it to. Maybe it was time for a change.

Aged 68 Mary finds herself staring at the face of The Wrinkly Writer. Owning that age with pride.
10 years of successfully freelancing with people who love working with her. Mentoring new writers. Switching Australia for life in France. Prioritising health in mind and body alongside the work that she loves. You get the sense Mary is only just getting started.
