Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

Sue Johnson is a British poet, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and creative-writing tutor whose career grew from a lifelong attachment to stories into a broad body of literary and teaching work. Born in Kent and later based in Worcestershire, she has described an early life shaped by books, radio storytelling, and a childhood habit of making her own newspapers, plays, and performances. Encouragement from one primary-school teacher helped sustain that impulse, even after another told her that writing was not a “proper job.” She continued writing through exams, work, marriage, and raising children, then took a decisive step forward when, after a difficult period in her personal life, she returned to college to pursue the ambition more seriously. A lecturer’s dismissal of one story became an unexpected turning point: instead of abandoning it, she entered it into a competition, and it was later shortlisted and published in Woman, opening the way to further magazine publication.
