Flight of the Dragonfly has its roots in the Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Brighton.
We got together and formed a spoken word event organisation, then created an online journal and a small press. Now Barbara runs the press by herself.
Barbara – co-founder and director
Barbara has an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Brighton which is how she got into this particular fine mess.
She lives with partner Tony in the heart of Sussex where her garden contains a beautiful walnut tree and a lot of very fat squirrels. Barbara’s favourite novelist has to be Iain Banks but she really can’t decide on a favourite poet. Barbara also likes trees, red wine, hiking, yin yoga, deserted beaches, icespeedway, and mountains.
Barbara is currently plotting a first novel.
