Under normal circumstances I spend a lot of the spring, summer and autumn (and some of the winter) travelling with my husband in our campervan. But things aren’t normal at the moment and we’re working from our other home – the one without wheels.

Sadly, during the pandemic, you won’t be able to bump into me in a tearooms, at a castle, or on a beach but you can catch up with me all over the web. My Amazon Author page is here. I’m on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and run a blog for writers.

As well as my own writing news, the womagwriter blog includes, writing prompts, lots of free to enter writing competitions and publishing opportunities in all genres and forms. You’ll also be able to find official guidelines for women’s magazines in the UK and abroad. Tips and advice, for submitting to these and interviews with successful womag writers.

If you’d like to take part in writerly conversation then do join me for #writingchat on twitter, Wednesday evenings from 8-9. Just tweet using the #writingchat hashtag.

You can email me at patsycollins53 (at) yahoo.com or leave a question/comment on one of my posts here or on womagwriter.
