Catherine Burrows

 

Catherine lives in a small Kent village and feels like the world is on her doorstep. She travels through time and space and enjoys being a different person every day. That's why she writes, it's all in her imagination. When Catherine's children started school, it was time to start doing something she is passionate about and which would hopefully add to the family fortunes. 

Catherine enjoys writing contemporary short fiction for women's magazines and competitions. A big ambition is to write for Mills & Boon. Catherine has every respect for this misunderstood and oft maligned global phenomenon.

As well as fiction, Catherine gets a lot of satisfaction from writing non-fiction. She has contributed several articles to local and national newspapers as well as writing lots of diverse and interesting articles for various websites. Catherine is currently writing a non-fiction book, Postnatal Depression - The Essential Guide which will be published in December 2010.

Catherine's short stories have been published in The Weekly News, Allas and That's Life! (Australia). Catherine has been placed or shortlisted in several writing competitions such as the Woman's Weekly/Writers' Forum competition, Killer Thriller , Writing Magazine. and Flash 500 . She has had articles and items published in many periodicals - The Daily Mail, The Guardian, News Shopper, Take a Break, That's Life, Real People, Prima and Chat.

Catherine co-founded The Write Place with Elaine Everest and was inspired to follow her writing dreams when she first met Elaine in 2006.

Writing isn't everything - it's more important than that and Catherine is looking forward to more publication accomplishments and the continuing success of The Write Place.
