Welcome to The Writer's Toolkit

My name is Sue Johnson and my aim is to help you create your own 'toolkit' so that you can achieve your full potential as a writer. This means creating your own space to write and making time for it in your life. No matter how busy you are, it is possible to find that time - you just need to be determined.

I am a published poet and short story writer. My short stories appear regularly in magazines like 'Woman', 'My Weekly', 'Woman's Weekly', 'Take a Break: Fiction Feast' and 'Chat ' It's Fate.'  One of my stories was published in 'Saucy Shorts for Chefs' published by Accent Press in October 2005.   My poems and short stories have also been successful in competitions.

I have completed four novels (two of them are currently with an agent) and am working on my fifth. I contribute articles to several magazines, including 'Link' - the Journal of the Association of Writers' Groups. I am a Writers' News Home Study Tutor.

I am a great believer in recycling ideas - so that what begins as a poem is recreated as lyrics for a song, a short story or a scene from a play or novel. I have self-published two 'Writer's Toolkit' books which are designed to help and inspire both new and experienced writers.  

I run creative writing workshops in various parts of the country as well as my regular ones in Pershore. I am also available as a speaker and can tailor my talk to suit the needs of a particular group.
