Everyone else in my life was always the writer – from the authors whose books I marketed at Ravan Press and David Philip Publishers to my colleagues, the journalists at The Weekly Mail and Mail and Guardian where I was for fifteen years, again not a writer, but the sales and marketing director.”
She has run marketing and reader research workshops for newspaper publishers, editors and marketing managers in Khartoum, Kigali, Beirut (with Iraqi publishers), in Hanoi and in South Africa. Before this she taught History, English and Art in KwaZulu Natal.
There Should Have Been Five is her second book. In 2010 Tafelberg published The Mystery of the SS Waratah and the Avocado Tree.voir moins
