We’re not former actresses or singers, fashion designers or glamour models, in fact our backgrounds are communications and publishing. We’ve never been filmed as part of a TV show whilst living in a house with other random people from the UK; we’ve never queued for hours outside various venues in the country hoping to be seen by celebrity judges on the latest TV talent contest.
We’re just two normal girls, maybe a bit like you, who have a dream; one we’re determined to make a reality.
Our journey to become published authors has begun and we’d like to share with you our experiences; and tips and advice from people-in-the-know.
