Our committee and members:
About:
Ellen Wiltshire (Chairperson)
Ellen loves to explore the hills of Northumberland, get between the pages of a good book, and follow the paths of the past and the folklore of yore. Writing primarily historical fiction, her stories are often imbued with a touch of the supernatural. She lives in North Tyneside with her partner.
Chelsea Hall (Secretary)
Chelsea spends her time surrounded by animals, be that with her dog-walking business; her happy spaniel – Oscar; her amazing horse – Roo. She’s a reader and writer of all things fantasy and horror. She spends her free time walking in the countryside with Oscar.
Liam Telford (Treasurer)
Liam is a carer and writer. A lifelong sci-fi and fantasy reader inspired by the craft of ‘worldbuilding’, he explores as many of the myriad worlds of fiction as he can lay his mitts on. He currently resides in Newcastle, daydreaming wild and vivid dreams of making something cool and fantastic in fictional writing and having people read it. He fully hopes to be a published author by the time he reaches thirty.
Sheila Newton (Competition-finder General + Scout)
Sheila is a retired nurse and further education teacher. She devotes much time to her garden; writes avidly and reads anything she can get her hands on. She enjoys wandering Northumberland, taking in sights, sounds and scents of countryside and coast. She lives in North Shields with her husband and two beautiful but incorrigible cats; one black, one white.
