Angela Pickett
Romance Writer
Ever wondered what happens when a silver haired former diplomat turned sales page copywriter becomes obsessed with reading romance?
Hi, I'm Angela
Not content to read romance, in 2023, I decided it was time to have a go at writing my own.
I’d been dabbling with fiction since 2014 (you can read about some of those efforts in my pre-2024 blogs) but never really finished anything.
I’d fallen into the trap of thinking romance writing was perhaps ‘less than’ other forms of fiction writing.
But then I realised that was stupid.
Shouldn’t I write what I enjoyed reading?
In February 2024, I did my first romance writing course, and in August 2024 I’m attending my first Romance Writers of Australia conference, which seemed a good time to finally update my website and start writing about my writing journey.
Blog Posts
For now, this website is basically just a collection of old blog posts.
But in the coming months, I’ll be sharing more about my romance writing.Â
And who knows, hopefully one day, I’ll be telling you where you can buy my books.Â
