Patrice Lawrence
East London, UK
Born in Brighton to Caribbean parents, living in London, I have been writing since I could. I've run the gamut of painful rhyming couplets, existentialist teenage diaries and - er - true romance. I've published some serious stuff, about equality and rights, as well as adult and children's short stories through Hamish Hamilton, A and C Black and Pearsons, amongst others. I'm good at running workshops, talking to lots of people and training. I'm not good at seeing departure boards (or people I know) without my glasses or whistling. I'm represented by the Caroline Sheldon Literary Agency.
