I love the pleasure i get from being so into a book i can't put it down - and when i do, having to count the hours until i can disappear back into it again.

About me: You can sometimes judge a person’s character by the books they’ve read and loved. Although, i'm a bit of a book whore and will read/listen to just about anything - partly out of curiosity, and partly...well, just because..
Learning, experiencing, expanding - stretching the grey matter is of course self satisfying. But, hopefully, it’s also a strengthening of character.
I turned to Audiobooks when I swapped jobs a few years ago. This meant changing from an hours ride on the train, to an hours drive in my car. Unfortunately (or fortunately as I now believe) there’s only so much ‘Breakfast Show’ radio I can take. So much goes in to the production of an audiobook. Put a great author and a fantastic reader together, and you’ve got something dynamite. I’ll never look back!

thank you for reading my work at EditRed. I really would love your imput on a peice for a novel I'm writing. Check it out when you get a chance. I uploaded a chapter-posted private for my readers.
'City Smells' is a new literary project set up by the Edit Red Writing Community.
We are running three writing competitions, Flash Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction and Poetry, all with the theme 'City Smells. The winners of each of these competitions will win $100. But more than this, we will take the best work from each competition and compile a paperback 'City Smells' anthology. The writers who make it into the 'City Smells' anthology will each receive free copies of the book and be paid a royalty in book sales.
To submit to these competition and stand a chance of being published in the 'City Smells' book you must be a member of Edit Red, as the submission process is automated. Joining Edit Red and entering these competitions is 100% free. If you make it into the book, we will pay royalties based on book sales.
Edit Red has existed for many years and was created and is still managed today by non-fiction author Alan Emmins, creative writing teacher Chris Lee Ramsden and literary reviewer Sean Merrigan.
If you are not already a member, we hope you will join and take part in this great literary event. Sign up here for free!
Thanks so much for adding me. Will definitely keep you posted about CLOSET and hope it keeps you company on your way to and from work at some point in the future!
Thanks for the add. For an introduction to new writers you could try www.authorsaloud.com which is dedicated to collecting clips of Canadian writers reading from their own work. All the best, --Jenn
