The Write Place: Creative Writing School was established to provide inspiration, information and encouragement for writers. Some of our students are published writers. All our students take their writing very seriously and are driven by the desire to get published.

Catherine Burrows

Catherine joined Elaine at The Write Place after several years of being a student. Catherine always enjoyed writing as a hobby but needed to develop a career as her youngest child reached school age.

She has since had short stories published in various popular magazines and publications including The Weekly News, Allas and That's Life (Australia). Catherine has been placed in several writing competitions such as the Woman's Weekly/Writers' Forum competition, Killer Thriller and Writing Magazine. She has had articles or items published in many publications such as The Daily Mail, The Guardian, News Shopper and Take a Break. Catherine also writes web content for various companies.
