Some news from me... 

I've hit the pause button on full time freelance writing, as I embark on a new career project. But my passion for writing keeps burning, so any spare time will be taken up with jotting down my thoughts about the books that I'm reading. If you'd like to follow along, join me on Instagram at @welltold_au (and please send me your book recommendations!). Meantime, until I return, a big heartfelt thanks to all the marvellous editors and clients who have entrusted me with words over the past few years. I will, of course, be staying in touch. Emma x
