Welcome
Judy Darley
If you love words, you’re in the right place. This is a website for anyone who makes their living by writing, or who wants to. This includes journalists, authors, poets, short story writers, scriptwriters, graphic novelists, and anyone else for whom the written word is essential.
My name is Judy Darley, and as a travel writer, freelance editor and aspiring author, I’ve created this site because it’s the one I’ve been looking for. I hope that now you’ve found it, you’ll be keen to get involved.
Although I will be overseeing the site, adding content and ensuring you get all the information you need, the majority of the features, interviews, blogs and tips will be written by the people in the know, as well as anyone who fancies sending their words out into the world.
On the How To pages, you will find valuable explanations of complex issues such as tax, while the Essential Words section is packed with interviews with authors, editors and other inspiring people. The blogs will give you an insight into the lives of other writers, while news will let you know about writing opportunities and what’s going on where right now.
If you want to get involved, have a question or just want to get in touch, visit the forum, post a comment, or email me at judy@essentialwriters.com
We also have a growing bank of regular contributors, including Beccy Downes, Natasha Lavattiata, Andy Kirby, Miles Cain, Melinda Elmore, Kathleen Inglis and Gina Dyer.
Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter.
And in the meantime, happy scribbling.
