I’m Maria Frankland, a full-time author with more than thirty novels, three novellas, a memoir and two poetry collections behind me. I’m published both by London-based publisher Bookouture and independently through my own publishing company, Autonomy Press.
I have a teaching degree and an MA in Creative Writing, and I’ve been teaching creative writing for years, first in person and, since 2020, online. It took me six years to write my first novel, mostly because I was working it all out on my own. That’s why I created these courses: so you have someone in your corner from your first idea to ‘The End’.
Nothing makes me happier than helping another writer reach their goal. When I’m not writing or teaching, you’ll find me in Yorkshire, probably with a cup of Yorkshire tea in hand.
