Born in Kenton, Wendy Worley grew up in Beaconsfield on the edge of the Chilterns. She now lives on the Mendip Hills near Frome.
As a child, Wendy always had her nose in a book, and spent many hours browsing in the local library. However, her working career began as a scientist with a brief spell in the Met Office and then building research. She completed an Open University degree before combining work as a school science technician with running the library at Somervale School in Midsomer Norton.
Later, as a full-time librarian at Sidcot, Wendy immersed herself in children’s literature and learning. One of the highlights of managing a school library was organising author events and meeting a host of talented authors inspired Wendy to start writing, which has now become a full-time occupation. She is a regular book reviewer for the School Library Association and is an active member of the Frome Writers’ Collective, which supports and promotes writers in the Frome area.
“If you’re thinking of self-publishing, I hope you don't go at it alone. With a team like SilverWood behind you, you have the support you need to publish the best work you believe in.”
