spleen: About

When I was eight years old an elderly neighbour, and friend of my father, told me I talked too much. This observation/criticism was devastating and forced me to look inwards. I started writing stories and haven’t stopped.

Some of them have been published in Australian Country Style, ABC Organic Gardener, Sydney Morning Herald, Slow magazine, Gardening Australia,The Australian, Wellbeing and Blue Mountains life.

My working life includes stints in administration and publishing as a magazine coordinator, editor, proof reader, copy writer and stylist. For more examples of published pieces, or to commission work please contact me at jacqff48@gmail.com
