Welcome to Busy Corner Books in Lincolnshire.
Hello there! My name is Paula Anne, and I am a Professional Literacy Consultant with a difference. I'm a 4 x published author, a group facilitator - with 25+ years experience in counselling/psychotherapy; communication skills and language patterns (the study of subjective experience). Also, 18+ years experience of writing and publishing my own and customers written work in the form of novels, books, magazine/newspaper articles, short publications and various documents such as curriculum vitae and professional letters. For personal records, local or mainstream publication.
I am the faith driven founder of Busy Corner Books; Writing Well Community Focused Creative Writing Well-being Group(s) (known as 'Writing Well'); and the Arclight TM course with the central and new evolving Courageous Writing Award, the Arclight TM Award.
My mission? To assist you in creating impact through your work, whilst resonating congruence and integrity. I understand the importance of communicating your message clearly and effectively. I am here to help you reach your goal. Through my life experience and professional qualities, I hope my genuine, conscientious and authentic approach shines through as a cheer-leading attitude. I also care about our community. Bringing people together is something delightful. Breaking the cycle of isolation/loneliness, and providing a space for people to discover their true selves, and grow comfortably into their writing. To learn who they really are and to feel safe enough to share, without being judged, only encouraged. Writing Well is now in it's 2nd year, meeting every 2 weeks, and providing one-off workshops, it has become something of an oasis and special time for those who want to authentically deepen their writing.
