Jane Austen
Award-winning novelist & storyteller
With over two decades of experience crafting compelling narratives, I bring stories to life that resonate with readers across generations.
About me
My journey as a writer began in the quiet corners of my childhood library, where I discovered the transformative power of storytelling. Today, I specialise in contemporary fiction that explores the complexities of human relationships and the resilience of the human spirit.
My work has been featured in numerous literary journals and anthologies, and I've had the privilege of speaking at writing conferences around the world.
Stories have the power to change hearts, open minds, and build bridges between worlds.

Writing philosophy
Authenticity first
Every character, every scene must ring true. I believe in writing from a place of honesty, even when the truth is uncomfortable.
Empathy through storytelling
Stories are bridges. They allow us to walk in someone else's shoes and see the world through different eyes.
Craft and revision
Great writing is rewriting. I approach each draft as an opportunity to dig deeper and refine the narrative.
Reader connection
The relationship between writer and reader is sacred. I write to create moments of recognition and understanding.
