Welcome to Siobhan Curham’s Writing Home

Hello and welcome to my ‘virtual’ Writing Home. Please feel free to take a wander through the different rooms and have a good old nose about.

In my Writing Home you will find details of my books and freelance work, tips and advice on writing and getting published and information about Write Club - an organisation I run with children’s author, Sara Starbuck to develop and promote young writers. If you look hard enough you will also find my writing and reading journal as well as my blog. And there might even be the odd photo lying about too.

To make things a little easier for you I’ve written a list of the rooms and their contents below…

Kitchen – In the kitchen you will find my blog; what better place to have a good old natter, so please feel free to post your comments and I’ll get the virtual kettle on.

Library – In the library you will find details of my freelance journalism and books. Please do have a browse and if you like what you see then just follow the link provided to my very own shelf at virtual bookstore, amazon.co.uk. If you would like information about my new book, Dear Dylan, recently long-listed for the Young Minds Book Award, and how to download it for FREE, please click here.

Study – In the study you will find lots of tips and advice on writing and getting published, gleaned from my years as an author, freelance journalist, editor and writing coach. I have set it out in a Q&A format to make it simpler – oh if only my real study were so well organised! You will also find information on and a link to my writing coaching practice Finding the Plot.

Bedroom – In my bedroom (tucked under the bed) you will find my writing and reading journal, in which I talk about the joys of being a writer and recommend books that I’m particularly enjoying reading. I promise that the journal will be warts and all, so if you want to witness first hand the agonies us writers can go through then please take a snoop. (Issues like whether to have a twix or a kit-kat with our morning cuppa or how many pages we’ll be able to write before Neighbours will all be covered.)

Den – In the den you will find details of my books and workshops for teenagers – including Write Club. Just don’t tell me to turn the music down or tidy up after myself, okay?

Mailbox – The mailbox is for you to use to pop me a message. Please let me know what you think of this site and if you have any questions on writing and getting published you’d like me to answer in the study. I also love hearing from readers of my books. All messages will be replied to (apart from any spam offering me a Russian mail order bride , $6 billion dollars from  the bank account of a dead person in Burkina Faso, or an operation to increase the size of an anatomical part I just don’t have!)

Siobhan, Max and Dylan
