Who is behind Novel Kicks?
Laura – Editor.
Laura is 32 years old, is currently living in Hampshire, is married to Chris and would love to be a writer. She’s trying to write the novel she talks so much about writing. She’s loved reading and writing since ‘Creative Writing’ classes in primary school. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything she can get her hands on, she loves reading, dancing like a loon, and watching Project Runway and Ugly Betty (her two TV guilty pleasures.)
You can e-mail Laura. You can also follow Laura on Twitter
Helen – Reviewer/Contributor.
Helen has been reading since she can remember. If she was ever lost as a kid, she could always be found with her head in a book. This love of books carried on through her teens and now way (way) into adulthood. Helen is also a keen writer and has recently started editing the book she hopes you’ll be reading soon.
Read about Helen’s writing, reading and the life that comes between her and these goals on her blog under her not-so-secret, and slightly outdated online persona Newtowritinggirl or on Twitter.
She lives with her boyfriend a stone’s throw from the Thames in her second favourite city London (favourite being New York – of course )
Bella – Writer of our fortnightly column, Bella’s Scribblings.
I’ve been jotting down my stories for as far back as I can remember. Somehow life took over, I got a sensible job in project management and the writing has remained a passion. Writing your own story really is the best fun ever! But it’s a close run thing along with talking, eating chocolate, drinking fizz and planning holidays! I have a particular love of the Caribbean but haven’t been there since our daughter arrived, however, I have a plan to go back soon.
I live in The Midlands with my lovely husband and our wonderful daughter, who thankfully, accept me as I am (with my mad morning hair and a penchant for skipping). We share our home with a geriatric deaf cat who has a serious attitude problem.
Bella also has her own blog.
Maria – Organic Books Blog
I have worked with books for 10 years, selling, stacking, event hosting, marketing and even making posters of them! I have double-stacked shelves at home and want to offer advice to authors that may need some clarity on the book trade from time to time- you are not alone!
Mick – Reviewer/Contributor.
Mick is a forty-something member of the Romantic Novelists Association, New Writers Scheme. He lives in Northamptonshire and is the proud keeper of a cat bent on world domination.
When he’s not trying to write books, Mick has a deep-seated love of reading that he’s brought from his teens to the current day with no signs of waning. He’s also mad on the music of the Beach Boys and enjoys the theatre and humouring his Manchester United supporting wife.
