Hello and welcome to the digital arm of Francesca HQ.

I spend my physical time in Southend-on-Sea, Essex and Bath, Somerset, and my emotional time deep in a book. I can recommend doing that, especially if the book you escape into is one I wrote.

If you’d like to work with me, just get in touch via francescaswords (at) outlook (dot) com. I’m available for book signings and author events, to which I will wear a lot of black, and I offer editorial consultancy to help polish your manuscript into its very best self.

My formal credentials: I have a BA(hons) in Religions, Philosophy and Ethics from Bath Spa University and am partway through a Masters in Scriptwriting. I’m also a student member of the Society of Authors. Please note I do not use generative artificial intelligence in my work and I do not give permission for my work to be used to train generative AI programmes. Why? Because I don’t fancy outsourcing my thought process to a computer system, especially not since big tech seems to be owned mostly by sociopaths on a power trip.
